The creation of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in World War II, the professionalization of American intelligence during the Cold War, and the networking of intelligence after 9/11 each ushered in a revolution in national intelligence operations. Now, the United States’ geopolitical rivalry with China and the rise of artificial intelligence have sparked a fourth revolution.
In his new book, The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America, former senior intelligence officer Anthony Vinci explains why intelligence is permeating fields from economics to science and technology, AI’s expanding role, and how authoritarian adversaries target Americans through data collection and information operations. Ultimately, Vinci argues, it is only through democratizing intelligence that America can overcome these threats.
Join Hudson Senior Fellow Nadia Schadlow for a wide ranging discussion with Vinci on the book’s findings and the future of intelligence operations.
