Marshall here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

Good morning everyone. Welcome back to the show. This episode is coming out on the one month anniversary of

Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Hopefully this conflict does not continue much longer though. Obviously no one can make predictions

It's just really worth noting that it's incredible how long the Ukrainians have managed to last despite the predictions

They were lose within three or four days and we should all just take note that it's easy to listen to podcasts and talk about podcasts

But there are people who are fighting and dying and really standing up for the country right now

So I just got to take a second to really acknowledge that

In terms of how we're doing this episode today's topic is focused on artificial intelligence

Satellites and what that means for the future of the war in Ukraine

But also for warfare moving forward. I'm speaking with Mark Valentine

He's the head of federal at scale AI. He's a former F-16 fighter pilot who is deeply interested in how

Machine learning and artificial intelligence can actually

Work to provide additional information about the battlefield how that will or not impact warfare

So a lot of great things we get into we're gonna start his background as a fighter pilot

We actually talk about his time flying in no fly zones

Before the second Iraq war

And then we get into the broader thoughts on how artificial intelligence and satellites are and are not changing the battlefield

This is a great follow-up for episode with and arose Christian bros
