How AI Could Have Curbed the Rise of ISIS in Iraq

Abstract

The rise of ISIS in Iraq in 2014 was based on a massive intelligence failure due to lack of HUMINT sources on ground and a widening security gap owing to the U.S. military's withdrawal in 2011. Artificial intelligence (AI) could have averted the formation of ISIS in Iraq by alerting decision makers through predictive analytics, natural language processing, and adaptive sensing, all of which could have formed the basis of an early warning system.
