We are joined by the "Q" (James Bond fans will know "Q") of the CIA, Dawn Meyerriecks. After learning a bit more about Dawn, perhaps it is more accurate to state that "Q" is the Dawn Meyerriecks of the British Secret Service. In any event, Dawn was the Deputy Director of the CIA for Science and Technology. Dawn recently led a "Masterclass" on "The Art of Intelligence" which I would highly encourage everyone to check out.
We talk to Dawn about:
- There are a few questions that we have always wanted to ask someone from the CIA (including whether it is true or false that there are CIA agents who speak over 30 different languages fluently). Dawn does her best to answer these questions!
- What is a "day in the life" of the "Deputy Director of the CIA"? How did she spend a typical day?
- How does Dawn compare life in the public sector vs. the private sector (as she has worked in senior positions in both).
- We ask Dawn about the current state of technology in society and whether we should be concerned about the increased investments being made in Artificial Intelligence.
I hope everyone enjoys the "CSI Chat" with Dawn!
