Do you disclose when and how you use AI in your intel products? The federal government is starting to.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency created a system of labels to use on their finished intel products so readers have full transparency as to which parts of the product were produced with AI. They use a template to disclose AI produced:

• the entire thing

• portions of the imagery analysis

• something else (they didn’t share the actual template…but said there are multiple options)

Why do they do this?

“I think it’s significant that you now have an entity within the IC that is putting out a template that literally acknowledges, for the purposes of our readership, what you are looking at has not been touched by human hands, okay, that this is 100 percent machine-generated,” [NGA Director Whitworth] said.

“It’s important [for] those and the secretary [of defense] and the president that they have that knowledge, so that they can assess and possibly ask additional questions, and that they know also the risk continuum that we’re all operating under.”
