Training Course

Leveraging Generative AI for OSINT

2 Days, Instructor-Led

Develop specialist capability to integrate generative AI into OSINT workflows without compromising analytical rigor.

course Overview

Integrate AI with Control and Confidence

Leveraging Generative AI for OSINT is a two-day specialist course designed for practitioners seeking to incorporate generative AI into their investigative workflows.

Generative AI presents significant opportunities to enhance research, analysis and data processing. At the same time, it introduces challenges around reliability, bias and the risk of hallucinated outputs. Effective use of AI in OSINT requires more than access to tools—it requires structured approaches, critical evaluation and clear boundaries for where AI adds value and where it does not.

This course develops the capability to apply generative AI across OSINT workflows using practical, tool-agnostic methodologies. Participants learn how to use AI to support research and analysis, evaluate AI-generated outputs and integrate machine assistance with human judgment and tradecraft. This capability enables teams to enhance efficiency while maintaining analytical rigor and confidence in their outputs.

Available via instructor-led delivery.
