Spies, Satellites & Startups: Intel in the Digital Age
As technological innovation accelerates, how should the United States and its allies rethink collaborative threat tracking in an era of commercial tech proliferation? As AI automation takes root, how can allied governments coordinate to effectively sift through threats, stop cyber threats, and speed up their combined response time? What does the relatively recent emergence of private, open-source intelligence firms mean for classified government networks? And how do policymakers set rules and maintain legal guardrails when private companies are involved? Anthony Vinci, adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) and the first Chief Technology Officer and Associate Director for Capabilities at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), joins Network 20/20 to delve into these questions and more.
Watch the full interview on Network 20/20.
