This is Your Primer on AI, Space, and Defense, not ChatGPT
Did you know that in the past five years, the U.S. Government has inked more than a billion dollars in contracts to develop and utilize artificial intelligence, or AI, according to a Brookings Institution report? While it’s unsurprising that the Department of Defense inked about 87 percent of these contracts, it is a space company that has won the greatest number. 

This week’s episode unpacks just what AI is before exploring AI’s role in the future of space, the space business, and defense. Laura Winter speaks with Dan Brunski, True Anomaly’s co-founder and Chief Technology Officer; George Pullen, Milky Way Economy’s Chief Economist; Gabriel DeVille, a consultant and market analyst with Euroconsult; and Dick Wilkinson, Proof Labs co-founder and Chief Technology Officer.

Laura Winter speaks with George Pullen, MilkyWay Economy’s Chief Economist; and with Jess Harrington, a Consultant at McKinsey & Company, who focuses on the intersection of the commercial space sector and the federal government.
