The effectiveness of the US \nIntelligence Community (IC), without consensus on this basic term,\nbegs the question: Does defining intelligence matter? The answer is an\nemphatic yes. Defining intelligence is critical for the IC and the \nnascent intelligence studies discipline. Achieving agreement on what \nintelligence is would better focus IC missions, authorities, resources, \nand oversight. Moreover, understanding what it should be is essential\nto envisioning and achieving an efficacious future intelligence \nenterprise to enable sound decisions in a rapidly changing world.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db07e61 elementor-align-right elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"db07e61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Why-Define-Intelligence_Charlotte.K.Collinsw.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-right\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M190.5 66.9l22.2-22.2c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0L441 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L246.6 467.3c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.2-22.2c-9.5-9.5-9.3-25 .4-34.3L311.4 296H24c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24v-32c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h287.4L190.9 101.2c-9.8-9.3-10-24.8-.4-34.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read more...<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c42496c elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c42496c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b289ea e-con-full e-flex e-con\" data-id=\"0b289ea\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{"content_width":"full","background_background":"classic"}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e27f090 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial animated-slow elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-position-top elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"e27f090\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{"_animation":"none"}\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Integrating_GenAI_Strategic_Foresight.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ni-u.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IntegratingGenAI.png\" title=\"IntegratingGenAI\" alt=\"IntegratingGenAI\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h5 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Integrating_GenAI_Strategic_Foresight.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Integrating GenAI and Strategic  Foresight for 21st Century  National Security <br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13573 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PDF.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\"><\/a><\/h5><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Today\u2019s political leaders are using military force as a go-to solution for \ngeopolitical disputes in Ukraine, Gaza, and beyond. This assertiveness is \nnot confined to isolated regions; it is an emergent global phenomenon. \nVictory in these and future conflicts requires pivoting to a foresight-based \napproach that informs strategies rooted in a deep understanding of \ncomplex global dynamics. Building a generative-artificial intelligence\n(GenAI)-powered \u201ccognitive operating system\u201d to navigate uncertainty \ncan harness GenAI\u2019s ability to synthesize vast arrays of data into \ncoherent, actionable insights. Integrating GenAI with strategic foresight \nwill bolster the US national security ecosystem\u2019s capacity to think, act, \nand adapt in an unpredictable, ever-changing global landscape.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dc7050 elementor-align-right elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6dc7050\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Integrating_GenAI_Strategic_Foresight_Sotiria_Charlotte-Collinswor.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon elementor-align-icon-right\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M190.5 66.9l22.2-22.2c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0L441 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L246.6 467.3c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.2-22.2c-9.5-9.5-9.3-25 .4-34.3L311.4 296H24c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24v-32c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h287.4L190.9 101.2c-9.8-9.3-10-24.8-.4-34.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read more...<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46d534b e-con-full e-flex e-con\" data-id=\"46d534b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{"content_width":"full","background_background":"classic"}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c04b812 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial animated-slow elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-position-top elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"c04b812\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{"_animation":"none"}\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Fight_Intelligence_Failures.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ni-u.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/BlindSpotJPG.png\" title=\"BlindSpotJPG\" alt=\"BlindSpotJPG\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h5 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Fight_Intelligence_Failures.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Blind Spots: Preventing Will-To Fight Intelligence Failure<br><br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13573 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/PDF.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"35\" height=\"30\"><\/a><\/h5><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Recent US failures to accurately evaluate \u201cwill to fight\u201d in Afghanistan \nand Ukraine are said to derive from IC analytic deficiencies and a US \nmilitary culture that prioritizes weapons and technology. However, they\nare rooted more in how the United States projects influence globally and \nstructures its government. Intelligence customers and producers focus \non military capabilities of friends and foes and on the intentions of \nforeign leaders, while focusing less on the will of the military forces and \nlocal populace. Ongoing efforts to improve analytic methods will not \nprevent recurring failures. Only institutional reforms within the national \nsecurity and foreign policy communities to prioritize human influence \nand greater IC assertiveness in initiating long-term, in-depth collection \nand
