AI-Powered Strategic Intelligence
What is ISSG?
The International Strategic Studies Group (ISSG) is an independent defense and security intelligence aggregator that uses artificial intelligence to collect, analyze, and summarize news from open sources around the world. We provide daily briefings on strategic defense and security topics.
We are not affiliated with NATO, any government, or military organization. ISSG is an independent research project focused on making defense news more accessible through AI-powered analysis.
Our AI Technology
All content analysis on ISSG is powered exclusively by US-developed AI models running locally on our infrastructure.
100% US AI for Content Processing
| Model | Developer | Origin | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemma 2 27B | USA | Article summarization, topic extraction | |
| Phi-3 14B | Microsoft | USA | NATO relevance scoring, editorial decisions |
| Nomic Embed Text | Nomic AI | USA | Semantic similarity, article clustering |
For defense and security intelligence applications, supply chain integrity matters. All news analysis, daily briefings, GTI calculations, and content classification use only US-developed models.
Prediction Arena: AI Bias Research
The Prediction Arena is a separate experimental feature designed to study potential cultural bias in AI models. Unlike main content processing (US AI only), the Arena deliberately includes models from different origins to compare their perspectives on geopolitical events.
Arena Competitors (Research Only)
Eastern: Qwen 2.5 (Alibaba), DeepSeek R1 (DeepSeek)
Dual-Judge Scoring
Eastern Judge: BGE-M3 (China/BAAI)
Foreign AI models are used solely for comparative research. The Arena does not influence main site content.
