There's more AI in a Tesla than in any US military vehicle agreed, a better computer vision in your Snapchat app than any system in the Defense Department owns. What pushed you into the private sector? The primary thing for me was being incredibly frustrated with bureaucracy. It's kind of like Gavin Belfsen's box from HBO's Silicon Valley. They love hardware.
AI isn’t just changing search. It’s changing national security, too. Today, Kara talks to Trae’ Stephens, the co-founder and Executive Chairman of Anduril, about how the growing defense tech industry is using the power of AI and the speed of Silicon Valley to challenge “beltway bandits” like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. They discuss drones in Ukraine, the ethics of “smart walls” along the US-Mexico border and, yes, those balloons.
