T3 Talks

Welcome back to T3 Talks! In this episode, Sam and Austin try to keep up with Bonnie Rushing, SMSgt, Linguist, PhD Scholar, and Computational Social Scientist. We talk about linguistics and how to maintain proficiency, the differences between enlisted and commissioned members in the armed forces, and the importance of training troops to ask 'why'. She also helps us to understand the landscape of cognitive warfare, starting with distilling over 100 different definitions of cognitive attack, preserving decision making under outside influence, and the importance of inoculation theory in war games.

Welcome back to T3 Talks! This week, Sam and Austin have a blast chatting with Tracy Ragan, CEO and Co-Founder of DeployHub and open source software advocate. She scares us with the 23,000 software vulnerabilities found per year, many in packages developers don't even realize they're using. We talk Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), Security as a Sidecar vs Security by Design, and reminds us that 805 of security issues are identified and fixed pre-deployment, but 100% of attacks happen in production.Effort sponsored in whole or in part by the Air Force Research Laboratory, USAF, under Partnership Intermediary Agreement No. FA9550-22-3-0001.

Welcome back to T3 Talks! Wow, it's already been a year. We sit down to talk a little about what we've learned and enjoyed from doing this podcast, and chat about the upcoming 12 months and thing's we're looking forward to. Tune in to hear about some fun open events at the IHub, and reach out if you'd like to get involved!

Welcome back to T3 Talks! In this episode, Sam and Austin dive in with Dr Greg Furlich and Dr Angie Crews, research professors at the NSI at CU Boulder. They tell us all about the cool space stuff happening at the university, as well as the gains made by working in the Innovation Hub alongside students, industry, and government. We talk about the importance of being able to translate basic research and tell the story of how it will impact operations, building relationships, and the joy of mentoring and collaborating on cool projects.Effort sponsored in whole or in part by the Air Force Research Laboratory, USAF, under Partnership Intermediary Agreement No. FA9550-22-3-0001.

Welcome back to T3 Talks! In this episode Sam and Austin have the pleasure of talking to Grant Beanblossom, Lead Data Scientist in VT-ARC's Data Science Division. Grant is an accomplished data scientist who went back to get a law degree and recently passed the bar exam. Grant talks all about the journey from data to law and his thoughts on policy vs legality, fair use and the legal battlefield, and whether we view AI from a work perspective or a downfall of society perspective. He also shares his concerns about an AI-filled internet, 'nutrition labels' for AI models, and whether, for a given task, AI can do it, but do we trust it enough to allow it?Effort sponsored in whole or in part by the Air Force Research Laboratory, USAF, under Partnership Intermediary Agreement No. FA9550-22-3-0001.

Welcome back to T3 Talks! In this episode, Sam and Austin welcome back our first repeat guest, Mr Bart Stewart, SSC/S6 Command Data and AI Officer, to tell us all about what SSCs new Human/AI Teaming Lab isn't. And a bit about what it is aswell. He talks to us about how to create governance for enablement, and constraints for growth. How does over- or under-constraining tools affect the human decision making process? How do we take advantage when the risk of doing nothing outweighs the risk of trying something? And how does building good AI governance look like making cookies?Effort sponsored in whole or in part by the Air Force Research Laboratory, USAF, under Partnership Intermediary Agreement No. FA9550-22-3-0001.

Welcome back to T3 Talks! In this episode, Sam and Austin try to keep up with Dr JW Womack, Strategist, Leader Development for Operational Readiness for the Department of the Air Force. Listen to hear about the problem with 'should', the relationship between value, values, and valuable, and why it's important to follow up (comma) appropriately. And for leaders, ask: Where is the lack of connection? Where are your people allowed to waste time and make mistakes?

Welcome back to T3 Talks! In this episode, Sam and Austin have the pleasure of chatting with Captain Mac-Rufus Umeokolo, USSF about AI, systems thinking, and training your algorithms to train your brain. He tells us about his journey from AI consumer to AI infrastructure builder, looking at different disciplines in business, economics, and computer science from a systems perspective, and why being a nerd is good! He tells us about how, once he started to understand the algorithms that feed us information, he worked to train the computers to feed him new skills and learning rather than distraction and how important it is to just start, and improve later because execution is everything.Attribution:Effort sponsored in whole or in part by the Air Force Research Laboratory, USAF, under Partnership Intermediary Agreement No. FA9550-22-3-0001.

He walks us through how to approach near- and far-future design thinking for conflict in space, warfighting ontologies, and what it takes to bring together multidimensional groups of people to think about space as a joint warfighting domain. Also, what in (or out of) the world is AstroJiuJitsu?!
