Zegart, one of the country’s leading experts on intelligence and a professor at Stanford University. “New dangers come from tech, not terrorists. Emerging technologies like AI and social media are weakening the strong and empowering the weak, fundamentally changing dynamics of international conflict. To be blunt: The U.S. is losing its intelligence advantage.”

She explores why intelligence analysis is so challenging, a discussion about turncoats and double agents. and many revealing "day in the life" stories from intelligence officials.
