AI-driven intelligence gathering is scary but irresistible, says former CIA official Jack Devine

Former CIA veteran Jack Devine has described the integration of artificial intelligence into government espionage as "scary, but irresistible." Speaking on intelligence gathering developments, the former acting director of the CIA's National Clandestine Service highlighted how advanced technology is reshaping modern espionage. Devine, who currently serves as the founder of The Arkin Group, also addressed broader geopolitical challenges, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and the degree of presidential influence over the US Department of State. While acknowledging potential risks associated with automated intelligence tools, he emphasized that their strategic utility makes adoption inevitable for national security agencies.
