MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The UK intelligence service is planning to establish a new department as an Open-Source Intelligence Hub, equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to process open data published online and fight disinformation, UK Minister of State for Security Tom Tugendhat said.
"With a deeper focus on the right talent, training and technology, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, it [the new department] would add another powerful string to our bow," Tugendhat said in a letter published by The Telegraph late on Thursday.
The security minister also said that the monitoring of user-uploaded information online, combined with secret intelligence and AI-based technologies, would provide for "spotting a crucial troop movement" and detecting an enemy maneuver, as well as "catching a foreign agent," the newspaper reported.
