The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) is leveraging its extensive archive of satellite imagery and intelligence reports to train artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, as stated by Mark Munsell, the agency's director of data and digital innovation. This unique dataset, described as an "AI gold mine," combines well-organized visual and textual data, allowing for advanced multi-modal AI experiments. Unlike typical generative AI models that rely solely on text, NGA's approach integrates images with expert analyses, enhancing the AI's ability to identify patterns and anomalies. Munsell emphasized the importance of human oversight in AI-generated reports, particularly for military applications, where accuracy is critical. The agency is already using AI to streamline imagery analysis and aims to further enhance its capabilities as data from space-based sensors increases. The potential of multi-modal AI lies in its ability to reconcile various types of information, including visual and sensor data, which could significantly improve decision-making processes in national security.

1 commentsYou know who is sitting on a goldmine: Oil & gas -- all their geological info secrets are literally priceless at this point - obviously these will never be public because then we will find out how Oil is really created by subterranean lizard people in the hollow earth or something neat.
But if we could see what is gleaned from Oil & Gas efforts, it could have an unimaginable impact on our understanding of the geologics of earth - just because it would be so much highly rigorous datasets just due to their seeking to pinpoint oil fields, the amount of datapoints taken and samples, and efforts, and results and old fields depleted, and how new ones were discovered, and the techs developeed to do such.
Oil and gas is such an evil industry because it relies on deception, obfuscation and "drinking everyone else's milkshakes" at the expense of Human Progress for profits....
Funny how the premise of Alien ad Avatar and so many other Space EPics - is the expansion of the Earthling's Resource Exploitation Class
