Artificial Intelligence and Intelligence Analysis

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on how artificial intelligence (AI) could augment intelligence analysis, particularly in light of the ongoing big data revolution. AI technologies are being used and considered for a range of analytic applications across the tactical, operational, and strategic levels to improve the speed, efficiency, and depth of insights for analysis. In light of this growing interest and demand in AI for intelligence analysis, this chapter examines the complex set of human factors that are intimately connected to AI use in intelligence analysis that need to be considered in advance of their design, development, and deployment. As the chapter illustrates, the incorporation of AI into intelligence analysis involves a variety of sociotechnical issues related to knowledge production that need to be addressed to ensure these technologies are used safely and securely in intelligence work.
