Artificial Intelligence Tracks Covert Maritime Activities
Artificial intelligence is being used to track and analyze vessels, potentially uncovering the activities of shadow fleets used by countries like Russia, China, and Iran. Paired with satellite technology, AI can spot suspicious patterns at sea, including spoofed locations and destinations. The Australian Naval Institute reports that a new Maritime Intelligence Center has been launched in Washington, D.C., to leverage AI agents in analyzing data captured by satellites, which may help disrupt illegal activities like Chinese fishing vessels, as reported by Forbes.com.
