Jeremy Fleming, the head of intelligence at intelligence agency GCHQ has said that the technology on which we rely will no longer be shaped by the West. When addressed with the growing challenge from China, he claimed: “we have to keep evolving our approach if we’re going to keep up.” As an example he listed the so-called ‘smart cities’, which, in the future, will collect large amounts of personal data.
In addition, he warned that: “The risk is that the technology is implemented in a way in which we can’t assure its security.” While the UK is a “big beast” in regards to its technology, it should not be taken for granted. At this point in time, the UK is faced with either continuing to evolve and expand its technology or compete with its adversaries.
