Tech Militarism and Project Maven with Jack Poulson

This episode welcomes Jack Poulson to discuss Project Maven and the relationship between tech and the US military. Last month, Jack released a report at his organization, Tech Inquiry, revealing the extensive relationship between tech corporations and the US military via Project Maven. We discuss the kinds of technologies in the project, including drone surveillance, automated military tanks, location surveillance, and social media surveillance. We also discuss what we can infer about how the project, and some of these technologies, might work together. Jack Poulson is the Executive Director of Tech Inquiry and former Google AI Research Scientist and Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Stanford. You can follow him on Twitter at @_jack_poulson.
