Memo to the President on U.S. Intelligence
Reimagining U.S. Intelligence for the AI Age
I'm Ylli Bajraktari, CEO of the Special Competitive Studies Project. Today, I'm sharing another great episode of our #MemosToThePresident series on U.S. Intelligence.
I sat down with Senior Director for Intelligence William “Chip” Usher to discuss how a reimagined Intelligence Community can safeguard America's economic edge in the future. In the episode, we refer back to one of our most shared Substack posts from last year entitled, A Day in the Life of an AI-Augmented Analyst. Revisit it here.
Read the full Memo to the President on Reimagining U.S. Intelligence in the Age of AI. We hope you enjoy our conversation at the podcast links below.
This memo outlines a set of ambitious goals for reforming the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) that, if achieved, would position the IC to adapt to the coming wave of revolutionary technological change and improve its ability to protect the nation’s economic competitiveness in the decades ahead.
Given the IC’s crucial role in securing the homeland and supporting the United States’ ability to pursue its strategic goals, it must revolutionize its approach to its work and better address the importance of national techno-economic competitiveness. In doing so, it should reorient itself to fulfill five objectives:
Elevate the collection and analysis of foreign technology capabilities and economic threats to a top priority;
Establish a new and fully funded institutional home for Open Source Intelligence;
Prioritize the formation of strategic intelligence alliances to dominate the techno-economic advantage;
Provide the President with the means to push back against hybrid warfare threats; and
Transform the future IC workforce.
