This presentation will explore the emerging impact of artificial intelligence, including generative AI, on open-source intelligence (OSINT) workflows. We will explore the evolution of AI as it relates to OSINT, and look at the future for how practitioners can do more with less using Gen AI techniques for tasks such as image analysis, creating your own OSINT tools, geo-spatial processing, and reporting. Analysts are more important than ever, and this talk will highlight the critical requirement for analysts to verify & validate information, whilst creating efficiencies with emerging technologies that will change how they interact with data in the future. Finally, this talk will explore bad actors & the evolution of disinformation in a deep-fake world with voice cloning, video & image generation along with tonally & grammatically accurate text-based replication.
