The dicussion in this podcast explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising open-source intelligence (OSINT), which is derived from publicly available data. It highlights that AI technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, significantly enhance the speed and scale of OSINT activities for various sectors including governments, law enforcement, journalists, and corporations. The discussion details specific AI tools and their applications in real-world scenarios, ranging from tracking cybercrime and disinformation to investigating war crimes and monitoring protests. However, it also critically examines the strategic and ethical implications of AI-powered OSINT, raising concerns about mass surveillance, privacy infringements, potential for bias and error, and the widening regulatory gaps that pose risks to civil liberties. Overall, it presents AI in OSINT as a powerful yet double-edged sword with profound societal consequences.
