In a move that underscores the rising threat of digital deception, Cyabra, the AI-powered disinformation detection platform, has launched the Cyabra Brand & Entertainment Council—a strategic advisory group bringing together heavyweights from media, tech, and talent.

The newly formed council includes high-profile figures such as Jonny Bentwood (President of Data & Analytics at Golin), Mike G (Partner at United Talent Agency), David Wander (Chief Digital Officer at Roc Nation), and Arthur Stark (former President of Bed Bath & Beyond). Their mandate? Help Cyabra stay ahead of rapidly evolving AI threats like deepfakes, fake accounts, and viral disinformation that can crush reputations in minutes.

“The threat of digital impersonation and manipulated content has never been more serious for our artists and their fans,” said Mike G. “This Council is a crucial step forward in safeguarding the integrity of entertainment.”

A Real-Time Response to a Fast-Moving Problem

Cyabra, known for its real-time detection of social media manipulation, is working with the council to establish industry-wide strategies for authenticity in a time when fake is often indistinguishable from real. The group will advise on product development, ethical AI standards, and cross-industry education campaigns aimed at keeping brands and public figures one step ahead of digital chaos.

“By uniting Cyabra’s cutting-edge technology with industry expertise, we will help develop the standards and tools needed to safeguard authenticity,” said Dan Brahmy, CEO and Co-founder of Cyabra.

Why This Matters Now

The council's formation couldn’t be timelier. From AI-generated tracks mimicking musicians without consent to deepfake celebrity endorsements and fake corporate news triggering real market turmoil, the digital landscape is being weaponized at scale. Even household brands like Starbucks have fallen victim to fabricated executive announcements and coordinated disinfo campaigns.

Cyabra’s tools aim to detect and neutralize such threats before they spiral, offering real-time monitoring to brands, public figures, and partners across industries.

Who’s on the Council?

• Jonny Bentwood – Global communications strategist and data expert at Golin (IPG).

• Mike G – UTA partner representing stars like Cardi B and Lil Wayne.

• Arthur Stark – Ex-Bed Bath & Beyond president with deep retail and brand experience.

• David Wander – Roc Nation’s digital chief, leading strategy across music, sports, and entertainment.

As AI-generated content continues to blur the line between fact and fiction, Cyabra’s latest move is a call to action: protect authenticity, or risk letting digital manipulation rewrite reality.

Coming Soon: Public Debut via SPAC

This initiative follows news of Cyabra’s upcoming public debut through a merger with Trailblazer Merger Corporation I (NASDAQ: TBMC), signaling broader ambitions to scale its influence in the fight for digital truth.
