Washington: The American spy agency, the CIA, is preparing to widely use artificial intelligence technology to analyze the secret movements and plans of foreign countries. CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis has announced that AI 'colleagues' will be included in all the agency's analytical platforms in the next few years.

The CIA recently prepared the first intelligence report that works autonomously by analyzing information collected by human spies.

AI will help detect trends in information and draw conclusions. This will speed up the operations of the spy agency.

A highly classified version of generative AI is being used for this. However, Michael Ellis clarified that humans will make the final decisions.

This decisive move by the CIA comes at a time when China is posing a major challenge to the United States in technology. Last year alone, the CIA tested about 300 AI projects related to data processing and translation. The aim is to maintain a technological edge in modern warfare and intelligence.
