With his extensive experience in military intelligence and IT project management, Brian brings unique insights to the conversation.
In this wide-ranging discussion, Brian and the host explore current and future applications of AI in the DOD and Air Force, including enhancing productivity, creativity, planning, logistics, robotics, and more. They discuss the need for secure infrastructure and comprehensive policies to enable widespread AI adoption and implementation by 2025.

He foresees a critical period between 2026-2030 as political tensions, technology development, and other factors converge.
