In this episode of The World of Intelligence, we delve into the critical role of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) in understanding Violent Extremist Organizations (VEOs). Join me, Harry Kemsley, along with experts Dr. Joanna Cook and Dr. Shiraz Meyer, as we explore how VEOs operate, their ideological motivations, and the innovative strategies they employ in today's dynamic environment. We discuss the challenges researchers face in analyzing propaganda and the implications of AI in both enhancing and complicating our understanding of these groups. Through case studies and expert insights, we reveal the complexities of governance by VEOs and the importance of OSINT in counter-terrorism efforts. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that highlights the ongoing relevance of VEOs in global security.
