Cultural intelligence gathers, evaluates and processes meta-information: information about the foundations of the information society. This includes clear analysis and investigation of its societal, cultural, economic and political potentials and dangers.
Cultural intelligence acts as a balance to traditional military or economic intelligence services that gather information to increase control, and serves the public interest through citizen’s empowerment and independence. As accurate information is essential to optimal decisions, cultural intelligence services compensate the public’s lack of meta-information as socio-political and cultural foundation for decision-making.
To meet the public’s need for high quality and accessible cultural information and content, cultural intelligence provides information on developments and probable courses of action in the infosphere. In the tradition of the Enlightenment, cultural intelligence is an advocate of citizen’s rights of cultural freedom, freedom of opinion and expression, communication and privacy.
The services provided are designed to foster and protect the public sphere and discourse as well as the variety and richness of cultural expressions in a society increasingly determined by information and communication technologies.
By observing and analyzing enlightening cultural, socio-political, technological and economical trends, culture intelligence counters indoctrination and propaganda.
