📣 New CETaS report finds that 8 in 10 UK adults support national security agencies processing personal data to investigate terrorism and serious crime.
But context matters – support doesn’t extend to all scenarios.

There is no way to get enough coverage without AI given the complexity of national security threats today. Here is a path forward to help analysts leverage more data and fix fundamental data challenges to build AI for Strategic Warning. scsp222.substack.com/p/episo…

#SCSPTech's Nandita Balakrishnan sat down with @KateGerbeau of BFBS and @AnnaIsabelaK of the The Alan Turing Institute (@turinginst) for a crucial discussion on "Applying AI for Strategic Warning."
Key takeaway: Because AI can help spot trends and flag risks rapidly (limited only by its data), it empowers intel professionals by automating analysis, enabling sharper strategic thinking and earlier warnings. Investing in AI (infrastructure, talent, ethics) is vital; the cost of inaction is far greater. Tune in for the full conversation here: bfbs.com/radio/podcasts/bfbs…
