Episode 107: Dr. Teija Tiilikainen on Hybrid Threats, Disinformation, & the Battle for Democracy
Conflict no longer requires troops or tanks.

Episode 106: Mark Murray on Disinformation, Deepfakes, & the Fight for Free and Fair Elections
Disinformation has always shadowed elections, but artificial intelligence now lets bad actors produce it at a scale and speed never seen before. With the midterms approaching and government election-security agencies diminished, the question grows urgent: Can the same technology fueling the threat also be used to defend against it?

Episode 105: Teresa Carlson on Frontier AI, Smart Regulation, & Keeping America Number One
Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than any technology before it, yet the United States still has no federal framework to govern it, leaving a patchwork of state and foreign rules that startups can barely navigate.

Episode 103: Anshu Roy on AI-Powered Propaganda, Cognitive Warfare, & Future of Information Conflict
Propaganda has existed for centuries, but artificial intelligence and neurological research are transforming it into something far more dangerous: cognitive warfare.

In this episode, we ask: As AI gives bad actors the power to destabilize populations and c
Episode 102: Pete Newell on Battlefield Innovation, Scaling Speed, & the Future of National Security
In Ukraine and the Middle East, cheap and easy-to-produce drones have fundamentally altered the battlefield. But while technology moves at the speed of a text message, the Pentagon’s procurement process remains stuck on a different clock. In this episode, we ask: Is the Department of Defense actually equipped to counter this evolving threat, or are we just buying the wrong things faster?
