It posits that contemporary PSYOPs represent a sophisticated operational application of intelligence, whose value as a non-kinetic force multiplier is intrinsically dependent on the depth of psychological, cultural, and social understanding of the target audience.

The Threat of Algorithmic Populism: Intelligence Strategies for Safeguarding Democracy

by | posted in: Archive, Intelligence, Number 1, Volume 4 | 0

The digital age has facilitated unprecedented transformations in communication, reshaping the way political discourse and influence manifest in democratic societies. Among these transformations, algorithmic populism emerges as a significant phenomenon. This concept, defined by the interaction between political actors, online activism, and algorithm-driven amplification, highlights how extremist or populist political messages gain traction in the digital ecosystem. By analysing this dynamic through the lens of intelligence studies, we have tried to identify the risks posed by algorithmic populism to democratic systems and propose strategies to mitigate its impact. The need for intelligence agencies to address these risks is clear, as they represent not only political but also existential threats to the democratic order.

How should intelligence analysis be utilized to counter cognitive warfare?

by | posted in: Intelligence, Number 4, Volume 2 | 0

I wanted to underline in this paper how intelligence analysis needs to adapt to deal with a brand-new concept: cognitive warfare. Intelligence analysts need to put much more effort into understanding and appreciating the dangers that such a concept entails. This additional dimension must be taken into account in any risk assessment in the area of security studies. The target of the operations of this type of war is human rationality itself. In a study developed by Johns Hopkins University pentryu NATO, researchers (Kathy Cao, Sean Glaister, Adriana Pena, Danbi Rhee, William Rong, Alexander Rovalino) best defined the nature of cognitive warfare: ”In cognitive warfare, the human mind becomes the field of battle

Intelligence Analysis

by | posted in: Archive, Intelligence, Number 3, Volume 2 | 0

Analiștii sunt în domeniul „cunoașterii”. Inteligența se referă la cunoaștere, iar tipurile de probleme abordate sunt probleme de cunoaștere. Deci, avem nevoie de un concept de muncă bazat pe cunoștințe. Avem nevoie de o înțelegere de bază a ceea ce știm și cum știm, ceea ce nu știm și chiar ceea ce poate fi cunoscut și ceea ce nu este cunoscut. Analiza ar trebui să ofere o bază utilă pentru conceptualizarea funcțiilor de inteligență, dintre care cele mai importante sunt „estimarea” și „predicția”. Inteligența însăși, în forma sa de bază, are o funcție de decizie. Analiza inteligenței aplică metode cognitive individuale și colective pentru a evalua datele și a testa ipotezele într-un context socio-cultural secret.
