AI applied to Intelligence and Security: technologies and EC-funded initiatives

This paper reports about Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and their application for Security and Intelligence. Nowadays, the AI technology is transversal to a multitude of activities in all phases of the Intelli-gence Cycle. Particularly, the use of AI in the phases of collection, proces-sing, and analysis of data and information is now part of the state of the art. Several software tools, frameworks, and techniques are available, and security and intelligence practitioners that make use of AI technologies often adapt and customize these frameworks for the context and purpose of the specific operational case.
