The Human Advantage

In this episode, Allen Dorsey sits down with Mark Baines to explore what the rise of AI means for the future of work, decision-making and defence. Drawing on his experience across digital systems, military strategy and the defence and security sector, Mark shares his perspective on where AI can enhance human decision-making, from analysing vast amounts of data to supporting commanders and autonomous systems. They discuss the limits of AI in complex and uncertain situations, why human judgement, ethics, trust and leadership remain critical, and how militaries are adapting their approach to technology, training and warfare.
