“THE CONVERGENCE” — Army Mad Scientist Podcasts

Dr. David Kilcullen, bestselling author and expert on unconventional warfare, discusses how the U.S. Army must prepare to engage “Dragons” and “Snakes” as they employ Liminal Warfare and blended cyber-kinetic operations to avoid our conventional warfare dominance.

Mr. Doowan Lee, Senior Director, Zignal Labs, discusses disinformation, changes over time in approaches to information warfare, and collaboration between Russia and the Chinese Communist Party on information operations.

MAJ Delaney Brown, CPT Jay Long, and 1LT Richard Kuzma provide an insightful “Young Turks” perspective on Soldiering and talent management, and offer up several “sacred cows” on the altar of Army modernization and readiness.

Dr. Aleks Nesic, co-founder of Valka-Mir, discusses how humans remain at the center of great power competition and how we must understand the human domain and synchronize social science in the non-kinetic, non-lethal space if we are to successfully out-compete our adversaries.

Michael Kanaan, Director of Operations for U.S. Air Force and MIT Artificial Intelligence, discusses the impact of AI on the armed forces
