We can expect a continued trend toward greater automation of intelligence processes. AI systems are likely to play a more prominent role in data analysis, pattern recognition, and information synthesis, freeing up human analysts to focus on higher-level cognitive tasks (Benny, 2022). AI will likely be integrated into decision support systems to assist human analysts in making more informed and timely decisions. Machine learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to identify relevant patterns, anomalies, and trends that may not be immediately apparent to human analysts. Natural Language Processing capabilities are expected to improve, enabling more sophisticated

(Zvelo, 2021) Within the larger topic of intelligence, tactical and strategic intelligence are two separate forms  of intelligence with differing applications. Let's evaluate and contrast these two instances according to several standards. To assist long-term planning and decision-making at the highest levels of an organization or government, strategic intelligence entails the gathering, analysis, and interpretation of information (Benny, 2022). It emphasizes the big picture, worldwide patterns, and possible future advancements. It supports decision-making, resource allocation, and policy formulation by top executives and policymakers that are in line with long-term objectives (Gleeson, 2019). In contrast, tactical intelligence pertains to the gathering and evaluation of data to facilitate prompt decision-making and short-term actions. It is more focused on particular operational aspects. To accomplish particular mission objectives, it helps field-level commanders and operators mak
