Military intelligence, AI style: MoD cosies up to Massive Analytic The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has received a “milestone” report from Massive Analytic, a company developing an “artificial precognition and decision-making support [system] for persistent surveillance-based tactical support.” Massive Analytic, as we reported last year, is an automated analytics startup – and one of 24 SMEs …

To be honest we shouldn't have given it so much real-world training data
As Pennycook told us, the CDE was seeking out “anyone with an innovative idea that has a potential defence or national security application. In focusing on innovative technologies our investments in science and technology research are high risk with high potential benefit.”
Hmmm? ....... An InQTel/DARPA/IARPA clone and remote controlled drone for fantastic programming? ..... InQTel / DARPA / IARPA
And who and/or what do the MOD CDE work for? Are they Puppet Servant or Master Puppeteer?
