The continuous evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has revolutionized the geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) tradecraft, enabling analysts to answer questions that were previously unanswerable. This USGIF white paper is intended for government and industry leaders involved in the defense, intelligence, and, specifically, the GEOINT community with an interest in AI and ML. The paper provides a look into the future of GEOINT through the lens of how analysts will work with AI- and ML-based systems to produce more robust and accurate intelligence faster. This paper presents a subset of GEOINT focused AI/ML applications, including:
- Generative AI
- AI for data fusion
- Democratized AI through AI services
- Practical AI at scale via low-code solutions
- AI solutions driven by the metaverse
