How is venture-backed innovation changing the nature of military technology development? What sectors are bridging the gap between cutting-edge innovation and military capabilities? And how are emerging technologies reshaping the future of warfare and global security?
John Markoff, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter and author of several books on technology, discussed these questions and more in a dynamic conversation with California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, Christopher Kirchhoff (head of AI strategy and global security at Scale AI and Defense Innovation Unit advisor), and Raj M. Shah (managing partner of Shield Capital and executive chairman and co-founder of Resilience). Kirchhoff and Shah are the co-authors of Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future of War.
This conversation is deeply relevant as dual-use technology moves from the periphery to the center of national security strategy, with implications for California’s economy, America’s defense posture, and global stability.
