episode Marc Andersen: The CFO Fueling the Army's Transformation artwork

Marc Andersen: The CFO Fueling the Army's Transformation

Defense modernization often gets talked about in terms of platforms, programs, and technology. But there's a harder, less glamorous question underneath all of it: Can the money follow the mission fast enough? On this episode of CTRL+ALT+DEFENSE, we're joined by Hon. Marc Andersen, the Army's Assistant Secretary for Financial Management & Comptroller, for a conversation about fiscal agility — what it means, what gets in the way, and why the ability to redirect resources quickly has become a genuine strategic variable in an era of rapid technological change. Andersen draws on an unusual background: founder, EY Senior Partner, venture advisor, and now the Army's top financial officer. He's one of the few people who can talk honestly about where private-sector financial thinking applies to defense — and where the analogy breaks down entirely.

Katrina Manson: Project Maven and the Advent of Algorithmic Warfare

To truly understand the Pentagon’s approach to adopting AI and how it navigates the moral and ethical dilemmas present with the use of autonomy for lethal decisions, you really have to go back to the start. And in many ways, that was Project Maven. In this new episode of CTRL + ALT + DEFENSE, journalist and author Katrina Manson joins to discuss her new book on Maven, the secretive decade-long Pentagon program that put artificial intelligence at the heart of American warfare. Manson traces the story from a windowless government room in 2017 to AI-enabled systems now operating across every branch of the U.S. military — unpacking the bureaucratic battles, the Google employee revolt, the rise of Palantir, and the deeper question no one can fully answer yet: will AI make war more precise, or will it make catastrophic mistakes at scale?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
