Description
Jim Rebesco is the co-founder and CEO of Striveworks, an AI ops company deployed across the US Army, Navy, and combatant commands.

In this episode of Summation, Jim and Auren discuss:
- why the real question in AI warfare is who pushes the button
- the case that autonomy favors big nation states, not insurgents
- why it costs $200,000 to procure anything in the Pentagon
- what high-frequency trading and war have in common
