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)
