The CIA’s head of technology development Dawn Meyerriecks says the US spy agency currently has 137 pilot projects directly related to artificial intelligence (AI), according to a story on military website Defense One.

The agency’s deputy director for science and technology says the “experiments” include everything from automatically tagging objects in video (so analysts can pay attention to what’s important) to better predicting future events based on big data and correlational evidence.

But Meyerriecks says staying ahead of Russia and China in AI isn’t as hard as getting US leaders to listen to their own artificial intelligence analysis.

“One of the things that’s a challenge for the current AI community, one of the things I’m positive will get addressed, is… you can’t go to leadership and make a recommendation based on a process that no one understands,” Meyerriecks said.

137 that the CIA is willing to mention plus the others and plus what all the other agencies are working on.
The nation's intelligence directors are in agreement: the ability to harness data and artificial intelligence is a major priority for the intelligence community.

During a Sept. 7 panel discussion at the Intelligence and National Security Summit in Washington, D.C., directors and deputies representing five branches of the intelligence community, including the National Security Agency, FBI, Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, zeroed in on the need to push past proficiency in AI and cyber.

"We have to be much more data-centric, much more savvy in how we handle data," said Melissa Drisko, the Defense Intelligence Agency's deputy director. "There are secrets there that we got to find. It's how do you find those."

What is the chance seeing what we hear and what is happening has such a time lag, that there isn't already an A.I. in a bunker some where?
