👀👀 Could the next FIVE EYES be the FOUR EYES?
As a former intell officer I’ve experienced firsthand the power of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance. Comprised of 🇺🇸US, 🇬🇧UK, 🇨🇦Canada, 🇦🇺Australia & 🇳🇿New Zealand—the “FVEY” has long been a cornerstone of intelligence-sharing and operational collaboration in safeguarding global security. While the alliance remains strong today, we shouldn't fail to imagine the potential of an equally or more powerful alternative coalition among 🇨🇳China, 🇷🇺Russia, 🇮🇷Iran & 🇰🇵North Korea, a development that could have profound security implications.
Historically, China, Russia, Iran & North Korea have cooperated to some extent on military and intelligence matters, but differences in language, culture, politics & technological sophistication have hindered deeper collaboration, including in cyber. Shifting geopolitical dynamics, however, could drive these states toward a more formalized intell-sharing partnership. Such a “Four Eyes” alliance would be motivated by common adversaries and strategic interests, including an enhanced capacity to resist economic sanctions and support proxy conflicts. While these states have not formed an official intelligence-sharing pact, there are precedents for security cooperation:
• China-Russia military exercises, defense tech collaboration, and intelligence sharing on Western military movements
• Iran-Russia partnerships in Syria and drone technology exchanges
• North Korea’s ties to Russia (weapons shipments & troops) and Iran (missile cooperation)
• China-Iran and China-North Korea trade and military collaborations
One of the primary limitations of deeper collaboration among these nations of course has been the diversity of languages. AI, particularly large language models and real-time machine translation, could reduce these barriers:
· Advanced neural machine translation systems could allow seamless communication across intelligence agencies, reducing friction in sharing
· AI-powered speech-to-text and text-to-speech tools could enable direct, secure communication in near real-time
· AI-driven data fusion systems could integrate information from Chinese, Russian, Iranian, and North Korean intelligence databases, analyzing and flagging threats more efficiently
· Deep learning-based pattern recognition could help detect U.S. and allied military movements, cyber vulnerabilities, and economic pressure points across regions of interest
· Cyber warfare operations could become more precise, using AI to automate malware generation and network infiltration
In sum, the emergence of an AI-powered FOUR EYES intelligence-sharing alliance among China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea could have far-reaching implications for global security. America must anticipate this shift, enhancing our AI capabilities in intelligence & counterintelligence to maintain our strategic edge. In addition, we must ensure the continued vitality and efficacy of the FVEY alliance.
