What is meant for good could easily be used for evil.   Interesting article.  Note the "....and government operations" mention.   I've spent the last 40 years in information technology including a stint with the National Science Foundation where I was an assistant director of one of the country's super computing centers.  My focus was on advanced computational sciences and one of the projects I worked on was predicting voting patterns based on historical data collected over the past 200 years.    What they're talking about sounds a little bit like Minority Report and well beyond voting patterns.    If they're scraping the content from RITAN they can certainly predict my patterns of behavior :whistle:

Fair use for educational purposes only....

The US military's AI experiments are growing particularly ambitious. The Drive reports that US Northern Command recently completed a string of tests for Global Information Dominance Experiments (GIDE), a combination of AI, cloud computing and sensors that could give the Pentagon the ability to predict events "days in advance," according to Command leader General Glen VanHerck. It's not as mystical as it sounds, but it could lead to a major change in military and government operations.

Ecclesiastes 4:1  "Again I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them."
