    Share

    Today I spoke with Paul Scharre, the vice president and director of studies at the Center for New American Security (CNAS). Previously he has worked for the Office of the Secretary of Defense as well as being a team leader in the US Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment. Scharre’s latest book “Four Battlegrounds: Power in the age of artificial intelligence” discusses some of the bleeding edge issues facing US national security. We discussed the use of drones in Ukraine, limiting China’s access to cutting-edge chips, data advantages and much more.
