Inside the intelligence community’s new data strategy

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released a data strategy for Intelligence community agencies. The strategy, which runs from 2023 through 2025, provides focus areas and actions for all 18 IC agencies to accelerate adoption of common services and efforts to make data more interoperable, discoverable, and artificial intelligence-ready for both people and machines, according to ODNI. This isn’t ODNI’s first data strategy. The office released one back in 2017. But since then, the I-C has taken steps to mature its data environment and usage, and this latest document looks to usher in a new era of data-driven decisionmaking. To discuss that evolution, now joining the Daily Scoop Podcast is I-C Chief Data Officer Lori Wade. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
