After retiring from his position as a Naval Officer, Pat launched PVM in 2010 and for more than a decade, PVM has partnered with Palantir on government deployments across the public sector. On this episode we discuss the AI bubble, failed pilots and the structural issues plaguing enterprises from getting value from AI. We also unpack AI in the public sector and the West’s requirement to have an asymmetric advantage through AI, the promise/lie of AGI and Palantir’s integration capability being it’s competitive advantage.
