You must create a clear and detailed outline for your research paper using the subheadings provided below. The outline organizes your paper logically. Ensure to note the section where you used Artificial Intelligence.
Part I. Imagine you are a strategic analyst. You are tasked to obtain intelligence from any one of the civilian intelligence agencies. You are tracking MS-13 illegal activities of transporting fentanyl into the United States. Write a detailed research paper examining the roles, capabilities, and contributions of the specific agencies that would be tasked to gather such intelligence.
Part II. Use a generative artificial intelligence program (of your choice) to determine the neutralization of the threat. Do you agree with the Gen-AI’s solution? Why or why not?
