Leveraging Generative AI for OSINT
Learn how to use artificial intelligence to your advantage when gathering open-source intelligence
About the course
Harness generative AI as a force multiplier for your OSINT operations.
Security professionals, investigators, researchers, and intelligence practitioners need to understand both the power and limitations of AI tools.
When leveraged properly, AI can enhance OSINT workflows across planning, collection, processing, analysis and reporting phases - but maintaining human analytical skills and operational security is crucial.
This course bridges theory and practice, giving you concrete strategies to integrate AI into your OSINT operations while maintaining professional standards. Suitable for any professional looking to enhance their open source intelligence capabilities with emerging technology.
Key Learning Objectives
