The Watchers

Former DIA Director of Artificial Intelligence Brian Drake joins Andy Sauer for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of AI, autonomous weapons, misinformation, robotics, and the collision between technological innovation and human values. Brian explains how intelligence agencies first approached AI strategy, why regulation is struggling to keep pace, and why the next major geopolitical arms race may already be underway. He also shares his perspective on AI's potential to transform medicine, national security, and society while reminding us that the technology's greatest challenge may not be technical—but ethical.
