HELLO FUTURE: AI, War & the Economy: How the Future Is Being Rewritten Right Now

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the battlefield. In this episode, Kevin Cirilli speaks with Dr. Craig Albert of Augusta University about how AI systems helped accelerate targeting, intelligence analysis, and battlefield decision-making during the recent U.S.–Israeli campaign against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury. From advanced sensor-fusion platforms to large language models used in intelligence workflows, AI played a growing role in helping commanders process vast amounts of data and act faster than ever before. Dr. Albert explains how tools from companies like Palantir and emerging AI models are transforming modern warfare—speeding up intelligence fusion, improving precision targeting, and raising new strategic and ethical questions for military leaders. What happens when algorithms start shaping decisions in war? And how will artificial intelligence change the balance of power in future conflicts? Kevin and Dr. Albert break down the technology, the risks, and what this moment reveals about the next era of warfare.Meet The Future: https://mtf.tv/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
