With a salute from the Horizon, we welcome the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Warfare and our free accessible Special Edition on "Aspects of Cognitive Superiority"! "Modern #technologies allow for much more far-reaching #influencing of #collective #thought #structures and #political #identities for #hostile purposes. #Target #societies may therefore become more receptive towards subsequent #politicaloperations, or less #supportive of the #values or #policies of their own #politicalregime. Broader #mentalspaces may be influenced, #decisionmaking #processes affected, or #publicopinion altered. #trust in #conventional #sources of #knowledge and #information can be weakened, making the #target #community susceptible to #alternative sources."

Hopefully, the addition of a third-party entity to the policy process will give the Government confidence that it needs to get past the constant wrangling over acceptable use of PAI and CAI for the intelligence community. We must move forward. While concerns over legality of data are well meaning and based on best intentions, our adversaries are encumbered by none of these. #OSINT, #CAI, #PAI, #Intelligence, #IC
