Bonus Episode: Game-changing Tech for War & Peace - with Anne Neuberger

The fusion of technology, capital, and geopolitics is fundamentally shifting global power dynamics, enabling smaller nations and agile teams to develop capabilities once reserved for superpowers. Anne Neuberger, former Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology, emphasizes that success in this era requires a combination of technical expertise, rapid adaptation, and strategic alliances. As commercial technologies like AI, drones, and autonomous systems become central to military power, nations must prioritize supply chain resilience and ethical AI integration to maintain security. Neuberger highlights the "lab" environments of Ukraine and Israel as critical for learning how to scale commercial tech in conflict. Ultimately, maintaining a competitive edge depends on balancing economic efficiency with national security needs while ensuring that technological deployment remains consistent with democratic values and civil liberties.
