Tell me what you don’t know: Large language models and the pathologies of intelligence analysis
This article serves as a warning. Prompted by the likely increase in the reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) in intelligence analysis, it raises grave concerns about the prospect of relying on large language models (LLMs), including in high-stakes contexts such as the state-level resort-to-force decision making that is the focus of this special issue. It begins by identifying the twin informational pathologies that intelligence analysis is s…
Rules in information sharing for security
Information sharing has become a central concern for security agencies since 9/11. Previous research has identified a number of barriers to information sharing among agencies: a combination of legal or policy constraints, interagency rivalry and mistrust, and technology. Drawing on ideas from the sociology of information and trust, this article conceptualises the sharing/withholding of information between agencies as dependent on rules as a syste…
The needle and the damage done: Of haystacks and anxious panopticons
How should we understand the surveillance state post Snowden? This paper is concerned with the relationship between increased surveillance capacity and state power. The paper begins by analysing two metaphors used in public post Snowden discourse to describe state surveillance practices: the haystack and the panopticon. It argues that these metaphors share a flawed common entailment regarding surveillance, knowledge and power which cannot accurat…
Ethnic status and engagement with health services: Attitudes toward help-seeking and intercultural willingness to interact among South East Asian students in Australia
Previous research has demonstrated the importance of intercultural willingness to interact; however, these investigations have yet to be applied to a health context or to compare an ethnic minority with a majority sample. Consequently, the current study sought to better understand engagement with health services by investigating both attitudes towards seeking psychological help and intercultural willingness to interact within an ethnic minority S…
Intercultural willingness to communicate within health services: Investigating anxiety, uncertainty, ethnocentrism and help seeking behaviour
Investigating the Effect of Anxiety, Uncertainty and Ethnocentrism on Willingness to Interact in an Intercultural Communication
The current research aims to explore the effect of low or high perceived predictability and anxiety on willingness to interact with a person from another cultural group. How differences in anxiety, both individual (trait anxiety) and intergroup (anxiety specifically related to an interaction), influence willingness to engage within an intercultural communication is investigated. In addition, the contribution of ethnocentrism to willingness to int…
