How Israel uses AI for Intelligence & Why It's Not Enough with Amos Lahav

About this episode

The episode explores the implications of AI in intelligence and defense, featuring insights from Amos Lahav on recent failures and technological advancements.

In this episode of "Intel at the Edge", host Chip Usher is joined by Amos Lahav, founder of Airis Labs, to examine one of the most consequential questions in modern defense: what happens when AI becomes the backbone of intelligence collection and battlefield targeting? Drawing on hard lessons from the October 7th intelligence failure, the rise of systems like Gospel, and the growing threat of adversarial AI, Lahav offers a firsthand account of how the technology is changing — and sometimes failing — the people who depend on it most.
