I skimmed through the article. I didn’t understand what role AI supposedly plays in this case for tracking aid deliveries. For tracking you need sensors and connectivity from the mode of delivery, location information, some analytics and databases. What does this AI do for tracking? I can understand a sales pitch that says AI decides where to provide aid, how much, when, etc. But tracking deliveries? It’s a head scratcher for me.

I'm not the expert and the details that the company would put out are obviously obtuse, but: image detection/identification, predictive policing, and planning. The latter sounds to me like they'd have some system where people enter reports in natural language and an LLM assembles the information together and then proposes some plan of action. As opposed to having to have a more structured data entry and the friction that comes with it. It's all in the article if you read between the lines, really.

The article just describes how they're ingesting the data, some Palantir rep is watching the deliveries remotely and what sounds like manually entering delivery data.

From there I'm guessing the "AI" part is an LLM interface is offered to ask questions about the deliveries?

This wouldn't be the first product where it just provides what a database already does just fine / more efficiently...
