From Information Overload to Operational Insight
AI tools, platform risks, and geopolitical signals every OSINT practitioner should track
Hi everyone, OSINT Jobs team here.
This week we look at how OSINT practitioners handle data at scale, from improving how insights get communicated to turning unstructured information into structured, analysable outputs.
We cover new tools for semantic satellite imagery search, AI-assisted research workflows, and large-scale social media analysis, alongside practical resources for countering disinformation and collecting data from closed platforms.
In industry news, we highlight emerging security threats targeting OSINT professionals, regulatory pressure on major platforms, the growing role of OSINT in government intelligence, and broader geopolitical and technology shifts shaping the OSINT landscape in 2026.
