Abstract

Purpose: Research serves as a springboard for new ideas, and every scholarly research begins with a review of the literature. This literature review to familiarize oneself with the domain of research and to establish the credibility of the work. It also aids in the integration and summarization of the subject.


MethodologyThe necessary literature on the chosen topic have been gathered from multiple secondary data sources such as journals, conference proceedings, books, research papers published in various reputable publications, and then shortlisted the literature which are relevant for the work. The shortlisted literatures were carefully evaluated by reading each paper and taking notes as needed. The information gathered is then analyzed in order to identify the problem areas that may exist in the chosen topic.


Findings/ResultIt has been observed that the chosen topic, Opensource Intelligence (OSINT) practice requires more robust and intelligent solutions from AI and its subfields. The capability of OSINT for intelligent analysis strengthens tightly integrating machine learning and automated reasoning techniques. To avoid human errors, the dependency on humans in decision-making ought to reduce. To eradicate any incorrect information, a truth discovery process is mandatory. OSINT is able to discover new knowledge by correlating intelligence from other OSINT sources. Even though Artificial Intelligence has entered the OSINT field, there is still a long way to go before OSINT fully prepares for the much-anticipated Web 3.0.


Originality: A literature review have had been carried out using secondary data gathered from various online sources, and new knowledge in the form of findings was derived in order to construct a theoretical framework and methodology for future research. It has been ensured that no judgments or decisions are made with a biased mindset or under the influence of any predetermined mentality. A concerted effort has been made to identify a research topic for further investigation.


Paper Type: Literature Review.
