National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Post

#GWF2024 | Marryam Chaudhry, CEO, XR2LEAD: AI has blown up amusingly in the past couple of years and now we have figured out ways to use it.   We are using AI and geospatial information in defense and rescue operations particularly for target recognition and reconnaissance. Then it comes to the realm of data security, data secrecy, and data accuracy, there are a whole bunch of things that are interconnected. This data is used for urban planning, disaster response, and management, etc.   It is all about data and information, to do anything you need to know where and when things are happening.   Everything is about location.

Geospatial World Forum - Plenerary 6 - Amplifying Geospatial Value Impact. Ronda Schrenk led this amazing panel and stressed the importance of not only AI but the human in the loop. Ready or not it’s coming, it’s important on how we use it - Marryam Chaudhry. GEOINT is the foundational INT, you have to know where you are all of the time - Sandra Auchter. Location, Location, Location, more than ever you have to appreciate just how pervasive geospatial is today - Deb Davis #GWF2024 #geospatial United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF)

(Shutterstock) Jordan Richard Schoenherr, Concordia University https://lnkd.in/gpAW7UjG Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely regarded as a disruptive technology because it has the potential to fundamentally alter social relationships. AI has affected how people understand the world, the jobs available in the workforce and judgments of who merits employment or threatens society. Nowhere is this more apparent than in warfare, which is defined by social and technological processes. Technologies such as autonomous weapon systems (AWS) and cyberweapons have the potential to change conflicts and combat forever. Justifying warfare Acts of violence committed in war are often framed in virtuous terms, with justice and other morality motivations used to legitimate armed conflict. Yet “just wars” require both clear definitions of who is a combatant and clear distinctions between war and peace. When such distinctions are eroded, this leads to total wars — all against all. Boundaries between civilians and soldiers and military and domestic infrastructure are blurred, making everyone and everything a legitimate target. We might believe that total wars are a thing of the past, involving Mongolian hordes or trench warfare, but recent discussions of technology’s impact on warfare have breathed new life into the concept. New battlefields, old conflicts Information has always been key to the successful development and implementation of military strategy and battlefield tactics, with information warfare predating the information age. Knowing the position and temperament of adversaries plays a decisive role in predicting and manipulating their attitudes and behaviour. In our information age, we might assume that technological superiority in collecting and aggregating data will translate into significant changes in the balance of power. This hasn’t always been realized. To be useful, data must be informative. Patterns might remain obscured in noisy data, might be too novel to be recognized or might be misidentified. A concept f

How can #Germany keep up in a world, where the future of warfare is already here? As advancements in #artificialintelligence continue to reshape the future of warfare, Germany, like many other nations, faces the pressing challenge of not just keeping up, but thriving in this new paradigm. I will be moderating a panel on the Rise of AI conference that focuses on the German perspective of the AI Arms Race in Defense with panelists Ulrike Franke, PhD, Yvonne Hofstetter, and Michael Vetter. #futureofwarfare #ai
