Using AI Computer Vision in Your OSINT Data Analysis
Mike Raggo
DEF CON 32 Creator Stage · Day 1 · Creator Stage
In this DEF CON 32 talk, Mike Raggo, a seasoned veteran of the information security community, delves into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and **computer vision** for enhancing **Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)** data analysis. The presentation, building upon years of collaborative research with Chet Hosmer, addresses a critical challenge faced by OSINT practitioners: the overwhelming volume of raw data, often described as a "wasteland," which makes extracting actionable intelligence both time-consuming and inefficient. Raggo's core thesis is that by applying AI-driven computer vision techniques to images and video, analysts can achieve a significantly more automated, efficient, and accurate means of processing vast datasets.
