AI warfare and the race for a million-drone army, with Shield AI’s Brandon Tseng
About this episode
Brandon Tseng discusses the implications of AI in warfare and the challenges of entrepreneurship in defense technology.
From Ukraine to the Middle East, Shield AI's autonomous drones are deployed on the frontlines. Co-founder and President Brandon Tseng joins Rapid Response to take us inside the defense tech explosion and the fierce debate over AI in modern warfare. Tseng also confronts the hard questions: how seriously should we take China's military advances, can we trust the US and its allies to wield AI responsibly, and what does it say about entrepreneurship that this former Navy SEAL finds building a company every bit as grueling as combat?
