This is Intelligence Matters with former acting director of the CIA, Michael Morel.

I decided I wanted to write a textbook that others could use to teach people about

all things related to intelligence. It took a while and the world changed and

technology became a much bigger driver of changes in intelligence.

And so the book that I ended up writing turned out to be a very different book

than I started out writing.

So we think about this new technological landscape where adversaries are using

tools in different ways to undermine our country from within.

That to me was a threshold moment that the world had changed in some fundamental

ways that were dramatically affecting sense-making, which is what the

intelligence agencies do. How do we make sense of the world?

Amy Zegart is a professor of political science at Stanford University.

She is among the foremost academic experts on the US intelligence community.

She has just published a new book on intelligence titled Spies, Lies and

Algorithms, The History and Future of American Intelligence.

Amy and I just sat down to chat about her new book and will be right back with

that discussion after a word from our sponsor.

I'm Michael Moral and this is Intelligence Matters.
