+Developing science and technology solutions in support of CIA’s mission
+The Central Intelligence Agency has official launched CIA Labs , a federal laboratory and in-house research and development arm, which brings CIA officers together with the private sector and academia to research and develop science and technology solutions in support of CIA’s mission.
+CIA Labs joins the community of more than 300 U.S. federal labs and establishes CIA as a research partner for other labs, academia, and industry in disciplines spanning from artificial intelligence and biotechnology to quantum computing and advanced materials and manufacturing.
+The federal lab mechanism also enables officers to obtain patents and licenses for intellectual property they develop while working at the Agency and provides internship and externship opportunities.

+==== John Kiriakou: CIA Should Get Out of the Laboratory ====
+Scheerpost - December 28, 2022
+The C.I.A. has long had labs, whether overt or covert, where terrible things happened.
+When I was at the C.I.A. through the 1990s and into the middle of the next decade, the deputy director for whom I worked was fond of saying (over and over again) that the job of the C.I.A. was simple: “Recruit spies to steal secrets and then analyze those secrets so that policymakers could make the best-informed policy possible.”
+That was fantasy at best and disingenuous propaganda at worst. The truth is that the C.I.A. for decades has been active in areas, including “labs” and experimentation, from which it should have stayed away.((https://scheerpost.com/2022/12/28/john-kiriakou-cia-should-get-out-of-the-laboratory/))
