""Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing are not only revolutionising economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they 'converge' to create science fiction-like tools," she said. "We are now operating in a space between peace and war," Metreweli added. She highlighted duak risls: states racing for technological supremacy and algorithms becoming "as powerful as states," with hyper-personalized tools serving as "a new vector for conflict and control.""
""While mentioning China, Metreweli focused mainly on threats from Russia. She said the country is "testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war." She described chaos export as a deliberate feature of Russian strategy, enabled by cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, drones near sensitive sites, and propaganda operations. Countering disinformation requires society-wide efforts including teaching children to evaluate sources and recognize manipulative algorithms that "trigger intense reactions, like fear," she said.""
MI6 will emphasise technology-augmented intelligence gathering to address accelerating threats and opportunities from advanced technologies. Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing are reshaping economies and rewriting the reality of conflict as technologies converge to produce science-fiction-like tools. The security environment sits in a space between peace and war, with states racing for technological supremacy and algorithms becoming as powerful as states; hyper-personalised tools create new vectors for conflict and control. Russia employs grey-zone tactics below the threshold of war, exporting chaos via cyberattacks, drones and propaganda. Countering disinformation requires society-wide literacy while humans retain primacy: information requires judgement and AI should augment, not replace, human skills. Mastery of technology and coding proficiency are required across the service.
