"Narrative Science" and the CIA

The entanglement of artificial intelligence, commerce, and the CIA makes the following blog post sound very strange to my ears:
    Maxime Fischer-Zernin, Narrative Science: The CIA is Investing in Artificial Intelligence That Actually Works (blog post) policym1c (June 6?, 2013).
Can someone please explain this post or this business about Narrative Science-CIA-for-profit?-investment-etc. to me? The entire thing sounds weird.
