What happens when national security becomes a question of data—and who wields it best? In this episode of Navigating Noise, I sat down with Martijn Rasser, Chief Strategy Officer at Datenna and a former CIA intelligence officer, to explore how emerging technologies and open-source intelligence (OSINT) are reshaping global power dynamics. Martijn draws on his deep experience in the intelligence community and private sector to reveal how countries like China are leveraging innovations in quantum computing, biotechnology, and AI—and what the U.S. must do to stay ahead in this high-stakes competition.
