David Wells, ex-Australian & UK intelligence analyst and now with the UN, has this short article and opens with an explanation:
Today I’m going to be looking at one specific element of this subject – how intelligence agencies might use artificial intelligence to help navigate the ever-growing data pool they’re faced with. It has the potential to be a complex subject matter. I’m going to try to keep it as simple as possible, and focus on the implications for practitioners, not the technical ins and outs.
I want to briefly answer three quite big questions: Firstly, why? What elements within the current counter-terrorism climate point towards the need for AI? Secondly, how this might work in practice? I’m going to focus specifically on one element of counter-terrorism, covert online interaction with extremistsAnd finally, I’ll look at the advantages but just as importantly, disadvantages associated with this approach.
