@nstr_att @scsp_ai Come on down! Lots of toys to see and play with this year

I was proud to help support this key exercise with the US Army to explore how we can leverage AI to improve our cyber defenses. Looking forward to seeing some of these amazing ideas become reality!

I’m excited to announce the release of our new report : AI’s Potential Impact on the Army Officer Corps. While previous studies have attempted to measure AI’s impact on civilian occupations, our analysis is the first to apply these techniques to the military’s workforce.

Finally, the Army must leverage AI to decrease burnout and improve retention for the junior officers who will be key leaders in its future force. Enjoy!

The increase in European defense spending is undoubtedly welcome, writes @jamesryseff. But such expenditure has too often been leveraged less to enhance military capabilities than to support domestic manufacturing and employment. https://t.co/ZbXoJyvaig

Just released - an important new report from @WarintheFuture explaining how the war in Ukraine is driving a culture of adaptation and how the Department of War needs to adapt its own culture in order to prepare for future conflicts. Go read it now!

It was a privilege to speak on the transformation drivers of AI, autonomy and adaptation for military institutions at today’s @scsp_ai #AI exchange in Austin, Texas.

[Special Competitive Studies Project @scsp_ai]

GEN James Rainey, emphasized how AI and autonomy are reshaping combat—from data-centric warfare to human-machine integration. The future of defense is here. #TheExchange

[Special Competitive Studies Project @scsp_ai]

In a powerful conversation at #TheExchange, #SCSPTech Chair Dr. @ericschmidt broke down how drone swarms, rapid iteration, and AI-driven strategies are outpacing legacy systems—and why the U.S. must adapt fast.

From lessons in Ukraine to the challenges of defense procurement, one thing is clear: the future of warfare is software-defined, autonomous, and already here.

Let’s innovate at the speed of relevance. 🇺🇸

[Special Competitive Studies Project @scsp_ai]

Autonomous systems are redefining maritime security. At #TheExchange, @HavocAi_USV's Paul Lwin highlighted how scalable, self-righting vessels can operate without GPS or comms—offering persistent presence in contested waters. Innovation at sea is accelerating. 🌊🚢
