UK's Integrated Review (of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy) identified future challenges (China's economic gravity, climate change, lose of biodiversity, globalization, poverty destabilizing states) that will be worked on for the next 10 years. Technology create opportunities and risk (by power and misuse), esp. by non-state actors (companies, (Oni's [[wp:EncroChat|"Network"-like]]) organized crime, and terror groups. To defend cyberspace UK is establishing the National Cyber Force (NCF).)
 
Technology, science, data and cyber will play a more important roll for defence, international and national security.
 
From the PDF document:
 
"We will adopt an own-collaborate-access '''framework to guide government activity'''' in priority areas of S&T [Science and technology], such as AI, quantum technologies and engineering biology."
 
"State threats: we will bolster our efforts to detect, deter and respond to state threats in order to protect our people, infrastructure, economy and values from those who seek to do them harm. We will introduce new legislation to give our '''security and intelligence agencies and police''' the powers they need to tackle the challenges we will face in the coming decade."
 
"We will bolster Regional Organised Crime Units, in coordination with local policing and the NCA. This includes our recruitment in 2021-22 of 300 police officers dedicated to SOC [Serious and Organised Crime], as part of our commitment to recruit a total of 20,000 extra police officers by 2023."
 
"To counter proliferation to non-state actors, strengthening the security and safety of nuclear materials in priority countries. We will also reduce the risk of terrorist acquisition of biological agents through our International Biological Security Programme and the G7 Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction." (western community + China? -> getting desperate -> WCG?)
 
"In strengthening our homeland security, we will build on firm foundations in counter-terrorism, intelligence, cyber security and countering the proliferation of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. We will seek to match this excellence in other areas, through enhanced capabilities and appropriate legal powers that equip us to meet rapidly changing threats. We will also ensure that '''science and technology (S&T) is elevated to the highest importance as a component of national security''', with a particular emphasis on growing our cyber power."
 
That's for 2021-2031. Given that technological development does not stop it is only a question of when, not if, we all agree to use neutral AI to be our guardians so that the a "nightmare WCG" is avoided.
