Though I cannot discuss details in an open setting, as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I can tell you that before Operation Iraqi Freedom we had very little human intelligence in Iraq, and, therefore, the INC provided one of the best--and only--avenues for acquiring intelligence on Saddam Hussein's regime.12 I believe the Department of Defense would conclude it was useful.
More intriguingly, an experiment carried out in 2004 by Brian Hare, then at Harvard and now of Duke University in North Carolina, suggested that natural selection in the context of domestication had boosted dogs' intelligence, too, by allowing them to understand human behaviour in a way that their ancestors, wolves, cannot.
For decades researchers have tried replicating the top-down, hierarchical model of the human brain to create artificial intelligence in computers, without success.
What it lacked was human intelligence, the single most important weapon in the arsenal of counter-terrorism.
In other words, you can either have intelligence (human brain form), or super fast computation, but not both.

In his most recent book, Outliers, Gladwell argues that human intelligence is important for predicting career success, but only up to a point.
This has mirrored progress in fields as diverse as speech recognition and credit-card fraud detection, where modern techniques combined with a continuing explosion in computer power have made possible behaviour that seems very like human intelligence, albeit limited to a specific domain.
The three forces already work together on major crime investigations, terrorism intelligence as well as in the areas of training and human resources.
Having held senior management, analytic, and operational positions at the agency, John is committed to investing in the range of intelligence capabilities we need -- technical and human.
But before we can actually design and build super-smart machines like those in our books and movies, we need to better understand the nature of human intelligence.
These people believe in the Technological Singularity theory: The possibility that technologically augmented intelligence will change human life as we know it or possibly wipe it out completely.

At the same time, however, harnessing actionable intelligence in order to make informed strategic decisions is a technological challenge first and foremost, and a human one with respect to enforcing data integrity and other protocols detailed below.
In fact, there are those that argue artificial intelligence is simply unattainable except through the biological pathways of the human brain and the restrictions of the human brain are a byproduct of the design of intelligence itself.

The prefrontal cortex is the most peculiarly enlarged part of the brain in human beings, but whereas the part near the top of the head generally seems to be involved in conventional intelligence, the "orbital" region tends to handle the processing of social information that is, assessing the moods and personalities of other people.
