Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, commercial satellite imagery, open-source intelligence, and data analytics are transforming the threat detection landscape. Capabilities once held almost exclusively by governments are increasingly distributed across private firms and publicly available platforms, creating new opportunities for collaboration while also raising difficult questions around trust, verification, security, and alliance coordination at a time when geopolitical trust is low.
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?
In this episode of Global Insights, Dr. Eliot Jardines, Founder and Executive Director of the OSINT Foundation, and Dr. 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), examine these questions and more.
