Oliver Moody: 我在爱沙尼亚接触到一个战场情报管理系统,它整合了来自社交媒体、手机流量、电子邮件、人力情报和卫星数据等多种来源的数据。该系统不仅可以帮助指挥官快速了解战场态势,有效分配资源,还可以根据现有数据趋势预测未来。在战术层面,它可以预测未来两天的攻击;在战略层面,它可以预测未来4到6个月的战争趋势。虽然出于安全考虑,该系统的具体预测内容、客户和应用场景并未公开,但其客户包括一些西方安全部门和军队,这表明它至少在某种程度上能够实现其承诺的功能。乌克兰战争和人工智能技术的发展共同推动了该类技术的进步,使得其能够以更有效的方式应用于实际战场。爱沙尼亚之所以能够在该领域取得进展,是因为其在软件开发方面拥有优势,拥有强大的技术人才库和良好的情报部门。此外,由于其地理位置和历史原因,爱沙尼亚特别关注俄罗斯的军事威胁,并利用该技术来预测和应对潜在的入侵。该技术是一种更通用的机器学习算法,可以应用于多个领域,例如税务稽查和打击走私。
