“War is now drone-on-drone.” Top military strategist @chrismkirchhoff spoke with me about how the US is stuck in old modes of war — and how it can adapt:
“We win by having friends. We win by having strong alliances.” I couldn’t agree more, Raj. Thank you and @chrismkirchhoff for joining my latest book salon on your new project, “Unit X.” War technology is transforming before our eyes, but in the end, success is about people.
What book is Eyal Zamir, the new Israeli chief of staff, reading?
Pentagon's Silicon Valley office founder @chrismkirchhoff on what defense will look like under Trump:
New ep! @chrismkirchhoff and @tylercowen cover the ascendancy of drone warfare and how it will affect tactics both off and on the battlefield, the sobering prospect of hypersonic weapons and how they will shift the balance of power, EMP attacks, AI as the new arms race (and who's…
My Conversation with the excellent Christopher Kirchhoff: conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/chris…, #tech, #nationaldefense
In the @nytimes , Raj Shah and I argue the arrival of AI on the battlefield is akin to the Maxim gun, the first fully automatic weapon, whose first use in 1893 foretold the end of cavalry, the vanguard of combat arms since the Iron Age. nytimes.com/2024/09/13/opi…
I very rarely tear though a nonfiction book in a day or two. I don’t remember whose recommendation meant that @chrismkirchhoff and Raj Shah’s Unit X arrived on release day. It was spot on. At first glance, not the topic I would have leapt to: their effort to bring new tech to the…
Excellent new book. My take: “An unnerving tour de force. Unit X always feels high stakes, the ongoing tug of war it chronicles central to whether the nation prevails in the contests to come" amzn.to/3XVRJ4N @chrismkirchhoff
Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley are Transforming the Future of War,” by Raj Shah and @chrismkirchhoff, is essential reading on technology and national security. Out today: unitxbook.com

My Ebola lessons unlearned tour continues in this segment tonight on PBS News Hour -- I'm on 5:45 in: pbs.org/newshour/show/…
The Ebola Lessons Unlearned tour continues, in an interview I did with MIT Technology Review: technologyreview.com/2020/04/15/999…
It was always inspiring to watch Samantha Powers in action - she is one of the many hero's of Ebola who helped mobilize the international community to act.

Today in Foreign Affairs I share thoughts on the crucial period between the end of Ebola and COVID-19, echoing earlier warnings by Ron Klain, Lisa Monaco, and others. foreignaffairs.com/articles/2020-…
I just shared some thoughts with STAT on how the lessons from Ebola apply to COVID-19. statnews.com/2020/03/24/chr…
Under @AmbassadorRice and @RonaldKlain , I helped author a National Security Council lessons learned report about Ebola. The 73-page study was made public today in a New York Times story on warning signals before the coronavirus. nytimes.com/2020/03/19/us/…
