SIGNAL Media's Disruptive by Design: Autonomy: Balancing Machine Speed and Human Judgment in the Great Power War (Special Intel Edition)
Description
In this special episode of Disruptive by Design: Intelligence Edition, guest host Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Bob Ashley, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and current member of AFCEA's Intelligence Committee, leads a candid, high-level conversation on one of the most consequential shifts in modern warfare: the rise of autonomy and artificial intelligence.Joined by two leading voices in the field, Paul Scharre, executive vice president at CNAS and author of Four Battlegrounds, and retired Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan, former director of the Pentagon’s Joint AI Center, the discussion cuts through hype to explore what autonomy really means on the battlefield today—and where it’s headed.Grounded in real operational experience and policy insight, this special episode offers a sober, nuanced look at how AI is transforming the character of war—and why getting the human-machine balance right will define the future of global security.Stay tuned for the third and final episode in this series released on June 29.
