## Resource

An explosive fallout between AI giant Anthropic, OpenAI and the US Department of War has ignited a fierce debate in Silicon Valley about who gets to decide how artificial intelligence is used in defence. Former Pentagon adviser and founder of Primer.ai, Sean Gourley, joins Danny and Katie to explain how this technology is already embedded in military operations, and explore whether Silicon Valley bosses should get a say when it comes to national security. Is AI making war smarter or more dangerous? Clip: Bloomberg TV Producer: Marnie Duke Executive Producer: Priyanka Deladia Get in touch: techpod@thetimes.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
