An artificial intelligence company partnering with the U.S military and other federal agencies is fielding a technology that responds to queries not just with words, but near real-time images generated by satellites, drones and other diverse sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danti,<\/a> which markets itself as the first Earth data-search engine, said it has raised $5 million in seed funding to further develop a tool that answers questions about a place the same way one might ask simple questions of a search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a massive data overload, distribution, and knowledge gap problem that companies and governments alike are facing,\u201d said Danti founder and CEO Jesse Kallman in a statement. \u201cWe founded Danti to help users make sense of that data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tool draws from commercial and public government databases and is versed in geospatial, signals and open-source intelligence, and is already in operation. Last year, the Space Force awarded<\/a> a $1.2 million contract to develop the AI analyst that pulls from various sources to enhance remote knowledge of a situation or a place at a certain point in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the U.S. government and military looking for ways to access more information more quickly to support up-to-the-minute decisionmaking, Danti\u2019s tool represents another way agencies can make use of AI. Drawing on datasets that already exist, the technology can pull from satellite imagery, computer vision-based analytics, reports, news, social media, shipping data, global events and active fires. With top defense leaders across the services identifying China as an opponent in the war for information, <\/a>the U.S. is looking not just to understand the AI, but lead on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
