Guests:
- Derek Reveron, Professor and Chair of National Security at the US Naval War College
- John Savage, An Wang Professor Emeritus of Computer Science of Brown University
Topics covered:
- You wrote a book on cyber and war, how did this come about and what did you most enjoy learning from the other during the writing process?
- Is generative AI going to be a game changer in international relations and war, or is it just another tool?
- You also touch briefly on lethal autonomous weapons systems and ethics–that feels like the genie is right in the very neck of the bottle right now, is it too late?
- Aside from this book, and the awesome course you offered at Brown that sparked Tim’s interest in this field, how can we democratize this space better?
- How does the emergence and shift to Cloud impact security in the cyber age?
- What are your thoughts on the intersection of Cloud as a set of technologies and operating model and state security (like sovereignty)? Does Cloud make espionage harder or easier?
