Mind The Gap: Episode 17: Military intelligence and operations - It’s All About Scale

In this episode we have two guests from the most senior ranks of the Royal Air force, Air Marshals Philip Osborn and Edward Stringer. Both men joined the UK’s Royal Air Force in 1982. Air Marshal Stringer served 36 years until 2018; and Air Marshal Obsorn served 37 years until 2019. Intelligence has always been about dredging through vast pools of dull bureaucratic documents, seeking illuminating insights. In this episode we will explore military thinking about how to responsibly use AI. One of our guests has said, “data is the new oil,” and expresses concern about the tainting of our data by our adversaries. We discuss with our guests the Royal Air Force’s use of AI in intelligence and operations.
