Global Axess 2024 – Shashank Joshi: The Private Sector and the Intelligence Revolution
Private sector organisations now do what would once have been the preserve of state intelligence agencies. Some of this has become familiar – commercial satellite imagery being the most remarkable example of a field that was rarefied and highly secretive 25 years ago, yet ubiquitous today. Less well known is the role of publicly accessible information (PAI in the jargon) writ large. This includes advertising data among the other types of information that bleeds out from digital media. ‘Today, in a way that far fewer Americans seem to understand, and even fewer of them can avoid’, concluded a report for America’s director of national intelligence in January 2022, commercial data ‘includes information on nearly everyone that is of a type and level of sensitivity that historically could have been obtained, if at all, only through targeted… collection.’ This shift has a range of consequences for intelligence agencies, the nature of the intelligence contest between great powers, and the ethical and legal basis of public consent for secret intelligence in Western democracies.
