The Central Intelligence Agency is slated to roll out a new software tool to help it sift through the mountain of publicly available data, akin to ChatGPT, the popular chatbot created by Microsoft-backed OpenAI.
The agency's Open Source Enterprise division is set to give other intelligence agencies and analysts with the tool soon, Bloomberg reported, citing an interview with Randy Dixon, director of the division.
"We’ve gone from newspapers and radio, to newspapers and television, to newspapers and cable television, to basic internet, to big data, and it just keeps going," Nixon told the news outlet. "We have to find the needles in the needle field."
The tool will let users see the original source of the information and a cheat feature is a natural extension and will allow intelligence to be distributed easier and quicker, Nixon said.
