What technologies to support?
If I am so against recognition technologies and these seemingly sci-fi advancements, what do I support? And perhaps more importantly, how can, or should these new technologies be implemented? Finally, what are the recommendations for future policy and procedures?
What technologies should be trumpeted?
Software applications which focus on the human element, programs based on theory, or those that fill a very real need and are properly secured. One brilliant innovation is that of the Intellipedia. The importance of information sharing was stressed in the 9/11 commission’s recommendations. After doing light personal research, the problem did seem to be more systemic. Intellipedia assists in this process of sharing information which before seemed to have never occur.
Software applications or data-mining based on theory and contrived from a range of experts should also be more readily utilized in the security field and more should be developed. There are some programs which are already being utilized such as WarmTouch, LIWC, and SSA. Each of these will be discussed in turn and more in-depth to better understand their development, current capabilities and any utilization implications. Additionally, such programs reinforce a need for developing technologies/algorithms/etc based on theories not on chance discovery.
