    El dilema del ruido y la señal en la generación de inteligencia de fuentes abiertas
    (Revista del Centro de Estudios Superiores Navales, 2022) Barcelata Luna, Ali
    Strategic intelligence provides the knowledge to determine a State possible actions in order to preserve its security and achieve its national objectives. The confidence that available sources can provide to obtain data that, once processed in the intelligence cycle becomes punctual and opportune information, is of vital importance for strategic decisions; however, in the current era of hyper human connectivity through communication technologies, open-source information is increasingly wide and simple to consult, as well as easier to generate and manipulate. Due to the bombardment of information to which we all are subjected and tempted to consult at our fingertips, it is increasingly difficult to solve the dilemma of distinguishing the noise from the signal (Silver, 2015). The dilemma of distinguishing the noise from the signal consists in finding genuinely valuable and reliable information to reduce uncertainty in decision making among an accumulation of noise generated by fake news, propaganda and post-truth that saturates the information spectrum. Therefore, this essay aims to identify the causes of the noise of disinformation in the use of open-source information for strategic intelligence, in order to contribute to the formation of a virtuous circle that allows enhancing the intelligence cycle with the greatest possible certainty and accuracy, through critical thinking and the scientific method.
