Artificial intelligence can speed-sort satellite photos

Spy agencies used machine learning to sift through images and text in the cold war, and then to identify patterns in billions of phone records after 9/11. Although advances in algorithms and computing power over the past decade have made those models faster and better, most agencies still believe ai will assist humans rather than replace them. However, the Perceptron’s successors, large language models (llms) like gpt-4, are beginning to challenge that assumption.
