Why America is in a Fourth Intelligence Revolution

Since the founding of America’s first centralized modern intelligence agency during World War II, today’s guest Anthony Vinci says that current agencies have undergone several revolutions in how espionage was done. But Vinci says we’re in the midst of a fourth revolution, changing the rules of espionage for nations and non-state actors alike. In this episode of From the Crows’ Nest, host Ken Miller is joined by Vinci, a former intelligence officer and author of “ The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America .” Vinci says new asymmetric approaches to espionage combined with emerging technology has democratized intelligence, putting civilians at risk and threatening to leave America’s agencies at a disadvantage if they don’t adapt.
