Congrats Applied Intuition on another succesful Nexus conference - where autonomy meets defense! We discussed China threat (their automotive OEMs are very advanced in autonomy), investment in defensetech and role hype/bubbles play in innovation, role organizations like Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and CDAO play, generative AI and LLMs, and most importantly how to bring technology into the DoD: not just at R&D scale, and not just at test and evaluation scale, but at true operational scale.
Thank you for speaking on such an important topic!

Looks like a very interesting topic. I should come to the next one.
Sounds like a comprehensive and insightful conference! What were the key takeaways regarding generative AI and LLMs?
Good seeing you Bilal!

1moThe intersection of autonomy and defense indeed presents intricate challenges and opportunities, reminiscent of historical junctures where technological advancements reshaped strategic landscapes. However, as discussions delve into the nuanced realms of generative AI, LLMs, and scaling technology within the DoD, how can we effectively navigate the ethical and operational complexities inherent in deploying cutting-edge technologies in defense contexts? Considering the evolving nature of warfare and the imperative to maintain strategic advantage, what strategies can be employed to ensure responsible and effective integration of emerging technologies while mitigating risks associated with adversarial exploitation and unintended consequences?
