The Harsh Realities of Warfare Through Historical Lens

AI safety is having a moment. To discuss why AI safety matters for national security, today I have on Paul Scharre (@Paul_scharre). He’s the Vice President and Director of Studies at CNAS. He previously served in OSD Policy and as a US Army Ranger.

We discuss

• What the future of war looks like as militaries around the world adopt AI technologies
• Why using AI in warfare isn't as easy as people think
• How supply chains can be used as a form of arms control
• Historical weapons so horrible people simply didn't use them
• How to get a job at CNAS (they're hiring at cnas.org/careers)
