Using AI how? I wonder if it is just as a buzzword. The UK can't disrupt the flow of weapons into its own country, I don't believe they can pull this off.
It’s most likely a buzzword, I feel like 90% of AI headlines are just buzzwords at the moment.
It’s like every program with a while-true loop is now considered AI and it works with an … uh oh … algorithm!!!
The article doesn't give enough information to know, unsurprisingly given that it's a spy agency. It could be something mundane like outlier detection for finding unusual events of some sort. It might be something more exciting like using an LLM to conduct targeted psy-ops campaigns. We'll probably never know, and the article isn't really that interesting.
