## Resource

What does AI actually look like inside the world's most powerful military alliance? As the Director of Task Force Maven at NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) Colonel Arnel David has spent years at the intersection of artificial intelligence and national defence. This week we discuss his team's efforts in aligning AI adoption across dozens of allied nations. In this episode, we go beyond the headlines. We break down what Task Force Maven really is, why multinational AI deployment is harder than it sounds, and what the ethical debates inside defence institutions actually look like, versus how they're portrayed publicly. If you've ever wondered how AI is reshaping modern warfare, deterrence, and alliance politics, this is the conversation to start with.
