Generative AI and Intelligence Assessment
Exploring how Generative AI can be used in the field of intelligence analysis.
AI has been used for years to improve collection and analysis in signals intelligence but this article explores the range of tasks generative AI can perform for strategic intelligence analysts.
It argues that the most prudent integration of generative AI into intelligence assessment is as a ‘co-pilot’ for human analysts. Notwithstanding issues of inaccuracy, imported bias and ‘hallucination’, generative AI can liberate time-poor analysts to focus on tasks where humans add most value – applying their expertise, tacit knowledge and ‘sense of reality’.
