DOD Seeks Classification 'Clippy' To Help Classify Data, Control Access (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: The DOD has issued a request for information (RFI) from industry in a quest for technology that will prevent the mislabeling and accidental (or deliberate) access and sharing of sensitive documents and data. In an announcement posted in May by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), the Pentagon stated that the DOD CIO's office -- part of the Office of the Secretary of Defense -- is "investigating the use of commercial solutions for labeling and controlling access to sensitive information." Defense IT officials are seeking software that "must be able to make real-time decisions about the classification level of the information and an individual's ability to access, change, delete, receive, or forward the information based on the credentials of the sending and/or receiving individual, facility, and system."
In other words, the DOD is looking for a classification Clippy. In a response to questions regarding the RFI issued in late June, DOD officials said that the system should be able to ideally protect "any file type on a Microsoft operating system (OS) file system and active directory domain."

So Clippy gets a security clearance. What can go wrong?
Goodbye, Slashdot!
Yes please....
Also, would you please review what I've written and make sure it is consistently portion marked and has the appropriate matching headers and footers? And while you are at it, could you verify that the classification markings are with my authorized area as well as those of the people on the distribution list? Finally, as I'm cutting and pasting from source material, could you keep information around about the original classification of said material and make sure I've not caused the letter's content to change overall classification?
That would be a great help..
Thank you.

We here are lowrest bid for make classified automated A.I.
We your install software to synergize classification of documents. Data is read into cloud, and our human mimicry of A.I. in no sweatshop reads the information and classificies the information. Data grab you!
Lowrest bid: $5000 first
After all, if you're connected well enough 'no reasonable prosecutor' would bring a case against you regardless of how many documents you mishandle. If you're just a lowly sailor then they will throw the book at you even for minor infractions. Until justice is evenly applied then it's all a rather obvious scam.
No it's access control based on the contents of the document.
It has nothing to do with Clippy, other than the author of the article wanted people to read it.
