I am excited to bring this conversation to you all today! Kerry Chavez is an exceptionally sharp scholar at the United States Air Force Academy working on research related to national security and future tech. While she has published quite a bit looking at the use of drones and their effect on the battlefield, her work has also taken her into the realms of AI, quantum computing and a bunch of other fascinating topics.
In this wide ranging discussion, Kerry introduces us to some of the major developments and debates surrounding emerging and disruptive technologies in the national security realm. We discuss the use of drones by non-state actors and the geopolitical implications of that development, Kerry briefs us on quantum computing and its potential impact on intelligence and operational security, and work to separate fact from fiction or reality from hype on a lot of these technologies.
