AI in OSINT - Zero snake oil
2024-12-07 , Track 1

In this blink-and-you'll-miss-it talk we cut all the introductions and waffle and, just like this abstract, get straight to the point :) Can we use AI in OSINT? Spoiler - yes and its pretty magical. We'll show, on screen, how AI helped solved real(ish) world cases. That's it.


In the talk, I'll demo how we've build software that uses RAG AI to create an assistant that you can query about (deep, eg post authentication) web pages. I will show how the software works and then I will show results that were interesting.

I'll end the talk with my predictions on how AI will impact OSINT in the near future.

Urgh, bios. Three things you don't know about me - 1) I wrote super emo poetry in the late 90s and an industrial/metal band used it as lyrics on one of their songs. 2) I have a real NSA challenge coin 3) I drove a yellow VW beetle in 1992.
