Cofounders of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, including CEO Sam Altman, said in a blogpost on Monday that it was conceivable #AI could exceed the "expert skill level" of humans in most areas, and "carry out as much productive activity as one of today's largest corporations."I wasn't convinced that ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) is that imminent but if OpenAi things it is, then it's something we should take seriously. The blogpost at openai.com/blog/governance-of-superintelligence says we need to start thinking about both the risks and benefits now, and prepare for them internationally - in a similar way to the processes to regular the nuclear industry with IAEA, etc. #artificialintelligence #OpenAI #ASI #AGI ...

ChatGPT has received a lot of press since its November 2022 launch. But while interest in the tool is high almost everywhere, its use is not yet universal.Generative AI State of Play Around the World, Feb 2023Insider IntelligenceIn most regions around the world, high interest in generative AI is being matched by innovations related to the technology, deployment of the tool, and adoption by consumers. But the level of maturity across these three areas is not equal everywhere. The quick advancement of generative AI in Canada, Europe, and Latin America has resulted in successful start-ups in those regions. However, despite high interest in—and rapid adoption of— generative AI in Canada, Europe, and Latin America, it might not be smooth sailing for the technology. Regulation in each of these regions could be a major sticking point that scuppers faster maturation.Although China's generative AI ecosystem is currently lagging behind, it is set to explode. This delayed approach may actually put China in a strong position since it will have already ironed out regulatory issues. Infrastructure readiness will be a challenge, but regulatory readiness will be the biggest barrier to adoption—especially in markets where ChatGPT already has a foothold. In the full report, we take a look at the maturity levels of generative AI around the world, outline some of the region-specific challenges and opportunities, and speculate as to the future shape of the market in these regions. ...

The World Economic Forum cites AI as the singular key to the rise of what they call the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” In their view, there can be no human progress without the influence of AI algorithms, making human input almost obsolete.This is often promoted by globalist propagandists. For example, take a look at the summarized vision of WEF member Yuval Harari, the author of the best seller, Sapiens, who says that AI has creative ability that will replace human imagination and innovation. Not only that, but Harari has consistently argued in the past that AI will run the world much better than human beings ever could. www.youtube.com/watch?v=94o-9zR2bew www.globalresearch.ca/governance-by-artificial-intelligence-the-ultimate-unaccountable-tyranny/58... ...

Yesterday, I shared the CIA's emerging views on #OSINT. Today I saw this speech from General Hockenhull, Commander Strategic Command, discussing the use of open source intelligence on the UK government's website: www.gov.uk/government/speeches/how-open-source-intelligence-has-shaped-the-russia-ukraine-warIt includes this "Open source has also proved to be a force multiplier, and we’ve been able to move to an approach which militaries around the world have sought to do for some time. Through open source every platform and every service person is able to act as a sensor. Citizen involvement has meant that practically every citizen and every phone has become a sensor."Although General Hockenhull's perspective is military, collecting intelligence is also crucial for #CompetitiveIntelligence.If both the CIA and the UK military see the value of OSINT, #CI professionals should learn from this - including changing the way CI is thought about and done.Yes - we need CI teams, but everybody in a corporation can and should support the CI effort by acting as sensors - reporting ads they see on social media (that may depend on their interests and the social media algorithms), news they read - and of course what they hear from others. That also requires training for the whole corporation on the value of CI and up-skilling all staff so they can contribute too. We need to combine HUMINT and OSINT so they are equal partners. Each has a role and downplaying one in favour of the other means we downplay our potential CI capabilities! ... See MoreSee Less

Be careful of Jargon. Not everybody will understand what you are saying. This is especially the case for strategy. As Richard Rumelt wrote in "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy" (www.amazon.co.uk/Good-Strategy-Bad-Difference-Matters/dp/1846684811), one of the signs of a bad strategy is a strategy that is written in language that is not comprehensible to those who need to implement it or act on it. There's a lot of business jargon out there. Overusing it will guarantee that your strategies won't be understood by many of those who need to put them in place.Today's Dilbert is a good illustration of the risks of using too much jargon or (in this case) "business speak".dilbert.com/strip/2022-08-21 #strategy #business ...

Why you think you're right -- even if you're wrong! In this great TED talk, Julia Galef talks about why so many people are convinced they are right, even when they are wrong. The reason is that they lack what she calls the "scout mindset". Although she never mentions competitive / marketing intelligence she's talking about the sort of mindset great intelligence people have. They are curious, willing to be challenged, and defined by wanting to understand the world or the business or the industry rather than to continue along existing safe paths, defending them no-matter-what. She uses the example of the 19th century Dreyfus case in France that led to an innocent officer getting court-martialled and sentenced for espionage while the actual spy continued. Although prejudice was a key reason for the miscarriage of justice, it was also challenged by somebody willing to question - and that's key for anybody involved in CI/MI. ... See MoreSee Less

Do you seek power, or influence? Many leaders (national and business) focus on their power and believe that's what is important to get followed - but they fail to create new leaders. A few, focus on influencing others - and so create followers, some of who will also become leaders. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks explained the difference: “Power works by division, influence by multiplication. Power, in other words, is a zero-sum game: the more you share, the less you have. Influence is a non-zero-sum game: the more you share, the more you have.”(With thanks @Andrew.Shaw for this). ... See MoreSee Less

Military operations in a more transparent world======================================In the past eight years, a revolution has occurred in the world of “#OSINT” – and especially Imagery Intelligence (IMINT), which analyses images gathered by assets from satellites to spies.The resources now available to individual citizens approaches those once reserved for the superpowers.The changes in publicly available (in contrast to government-used) OSINT and IMINT are highlighted by comparing Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014 with the Kremlin’s current build‑up against Kyiv.Eight years ago, limited satellite pictures were briefed to the media, and while sourced from commercial firms, so as not to reveal classified capabilities, they were still mainly provided by official sources such the US State Department, Intelligence Community, and NATO. Further, relatively little hand-held imagery was available and useful, although Russian soldiers did reveal themselves in Ukraine with geotagged selfies. Finally, the public OSINT community was underdeveloped, with instead various journalists often bringing shadowy matters to light.Today, 6.6 billion smartphones are in use, meaning about 84 per cent of the world’s population are potential intelligence collectors.This means plethora of satellite imagery providers generate detailed views of Moscow’s deployment of more than 100,000 troops to Ukraine’s borders. In turn, despite Russia banning soldiers from using smartphones on duty, now TikTok, Youtube and more provide data allowing for the identification of individual units as everyday people share events that capture their interest – and military deployments clearly fit the bill.Finally, the OSINT community itself has learned, sharing techniques and resources, with some organisations having sprung up in response to Russia’s actions in 2014. These researchers, together with private military analysts, have developed assessments of Moscow’s forces that compare well with those from classified intelligence ... See MoreSee Less

A new consortium of countries is focused on keeping the internet free from disinformation and censorship. It's a response to Russia’s attack on the Ukraine, where internet infrastructure is being attacked as part of the ongoing war. Announced on 27 April 2022 in a National Security Council briefing, an administration official said that the U.S. is formally launching the "Declaration for the Future of the Internet" initiative in collaboration with over 50 other countries. “The declaration affirms fundamental principles regarding how countries should comport themselves with respect to the internet and to the digital ecosystem, the digital economy, that commits governments to promoting an open and free global, interoperable, reliable and secure internet for the world,” the spokesperson said. The Declaration for the Future of the Internet is modeled after principles belying other multinational organizations like the United Nations, World Trade Organization and the Group of Seven. Current member countries include Italy, Israel, Bulgaria, Canada, Belgium, Iceland, Luxembourg, Sweden, Spain, Taiwan, Uruguay and more. “The US and partners endorsing this declaration will work together in the weeks, months and years ahead to implement these principles to promote this vision globally, while respecting each other's regulatory autonomy within our own jurisdictions and in accordance with our respective domestic laws, international legal obligations,” the spokesperson added.Promoting human rights online is a priority of the initiative.
