NGA may soon be able to predict the future. 🔮 🔮 How? Satellite imagery with #AI can enable NGA to better anticipate events of geopolitical significance and impending crises: You're going to see a drought here and that may lead to civil unrest. Traditionally, analysis is retroactive, but with AI, satellite imagery can be used to forecast what is likely to happen in the future.
