Paul Scharre, former US Army Ranger and executive vice president of the Center for a New American Strategy, joins former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove and podcast co-host John Raine to discuss how drones and AI are reshaping military conflict and militaries themselves.
Scharre explains why cheap drones are beating expensive armies, how the cost asymmetry between offence and defence is reshaping the battlefield, and why the US may be losing its technological edge faster than it realizes.
Scharre also assesses Ukraine’s drone revolution, the race between the US and China to adopt military AI, and why keeping humans in the loop may matter more than any weapon system.
