Episode Details

The race to artificial intelligence supremacy appears to be getting tighter. Earlier this summer, a Chinese AI model known as Z.ai was found to match Anthropic's Mythos at discovering cybersecurity vulnerabilities despite trailing U.S. models on other tasks. The development carries real national security implications as the cyber domain increasingly operates at machine speed, while heightening the imperative for the U.S. government and commercial industry to partner together to streamline development and adoption of secure and reliable AI tools.  

In this month's episode of "The Elara Edge," Maj Gen (Ret) Kim Crider, Lt Gen (Ret) Bob Skinner, and Mike Robbins break down the challenges and opportunities to effectively adopting and integrating artificial intelligence in a rapidly-evolving cybersecurity environment. 

• Maj Gen (Ret) Crider is a Founding Partner at Elara Nova and the first Chief Technology and Innovation Officer with the United States Space Force
• Lt Gen (Ret) Skinner is an Executive Partner at Elara Nova, and the former director of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and former commander of the Joint Force Headquarters, Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN)
•  Robbins is a retired colonel with the United States Air Force and the former Director of the USSPACECOM Joint Cyber Center and Joint Ops Center
