In his thoughtful and significant speech titled \u201cA World Transformed and the Role of Intelligence<\/a>,\u201d CIA Director Bill Burns laid out his case for how intelligence plays a pivotal role at this \u201cplastic moment\u201d in history. He led his Ditchley Annual Lecture with the challenge of Russia and China, but his most revealing point was his discussion of how intense disruption by new technologies may be the most important and wide-ranging shock to the system we face today. He called this moment \u201ca revolution in technology more profound than the industrial revolution or the dawn of the nuclear age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is, of course, correct. Rapid technological change is reshaping the way we live, work and fight. The U.S. and China are competing to be first in space tech<\/a>, biotech<\/a>, quantum tech<\/a> and a whole host of other techs that will create everything from life-saving medicine and climate solutions<\/a> to life-ending bioweapons and artificial intelligence<\/a>-enabled autonomous weapons systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technological revolution hits the intelligence community hard, and in three earth-shaking ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, primacy in innovation has shifted from the intelligence community to industry. Until recently, the intelligence community had long been on the bleeding edge of technological advancement, and as a result it knew what was on the horizon before anyone else. In his speech, Burns recalled the CIA\u2019s innovation successes of past decades, but he also gave a nod to the uncomfortable truth that the vast majority of innovation happens outside government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is by no means a bad thing; having an in-house production capacity for an infinite number of potential needs is both expensive and foolish. Instead, the ideal arrangement is a lean, agile intelligence community with a wide industrial base to lean on for the perfect bespoke widget at the perfect time. But the intelligence community, being in the business of secrecy, has always struggled with the right balance of protection of secrets and sharing with the private sector. The risk calculus too often defaults to \u201cnope,\u201d which is a recipe for stasis and dangerous blind spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, the rapid pace of innovation means the intelligence community must work extremely hard to avert strategic surprise. Analysts and operators must interpret small signs to identify potential threats in competitors\u2019 advancements. For example, a subset of financial technology<\/a> \u2014 the suite of tools that allow for online money exchange \u2014 could disrupt one of the United States\u2019 most often-used weapons: financial sanctions. Biotech<\/a> could revolutionize medicine \u2014 or drive an efficient, terrible genocide \u2014 but these types of programs will be tightly held in the Chinese or Russian system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The intelligence community is adapting to respond, albeit slowly. Burns said the CIA is \u201ctransforming our approach to emerging technology issues,\u201d in part by creating a mission center focused solely on technology and transnational challenges. One of its mandates is to increase the CIA\u2019s exchange with the private sector: a much-needed conduit to bring outside talent and treasure into what can be a miserable maze of security bureaucracy. But there is much more to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chasing the emerging-technology mission will be resource-intensive and will require thinking about the craft of intelligence in new ways. In our recent paper, \u201cMove over JARVIS, meet OSCAR<\/a>,\u201d we argued that the combination of open-source intelligence, cloud computing technology and AI would revolutionize the business of intelligence, but only if the intelligence community is bold enough to try it. We nicknamed this new capability \u201cOSCAR,\u201d and we gave a set of recommendations describing how to get from here to there, looking at culture, security, policy, people and bold steps to take if progress stalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a separate paper, \u201cSeven Critical Technologies for Winning the Next War<\/a>,\u201d we made the case that seven technologies will make the difference in every aspect of strategic competition, and perhaps the most frightening of them is bioengineering. Burns also highlighted biotechnology as a development that is progressing on a \u201chockey stick\u201d trend line: \u201cNowhere is that more evident than in biotechnology and biomanufacturing \u2014 which can unlock extraordinary climate and health solutions and boost our economies, but whose abuse and misuse could lead to catastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combinations of these technologies are far more impactful than the sum of their parts. Biology plus robotics could lead to self-healing or morphic robots, useful for long-term espionage in otherwise unreachable places. Facial recognition, AI, biosensors and high-performance computing can hand a state the ability to track a person through cities, airports, doctors\u2019 offices, pharmacies, schools and toll roads \u2014 over multiple years, on multiple continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter combination of technologies in particular will make spy work more difficult than it has ever been, at a time when understanding our adversaries is even more vital. This is the third big impact on the intelligence community: Gathering information clandestinely is becoming nearly impossible in heavily surveilled environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burns acknowledged this, describing the CIA as \u201cin the midst of the most profound transformation of espionage tradecraft since the Cold War.\u201d The challenge of ubiquitous technical surveillance will make human operations difficult and dangerous. Operators will need to go beyond living their cover; they will need to appear to exist in two places at the same time, or no places at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet these challenges and succeed in the competition with China, the intelligence community needs to reimagine how it takes new technologies from concept to creation to implementation at scale. Burns laid out the why, but not the how, of this transformation. We created a website called Tech Recs<\/a> to help the U.S. government find a list of the Center for Strategic and International Studies\u2019 recommendations for how to create smart tech policy for intelligence and defense. Implementing these recommendations will give the U.S. the best possible shot at getting to the vision of a modern, capable, cutting-edge technology ecosystem that Director Burns described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director Burns correctly identified this revolutionary moment. The intelligence community can talk about it and watch it pass by, or it can rise to the occasion, recognize the urgency and cast aside defunct practices. We need the audacity to dream big and the humility to let industry help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
