Weaponized AI?: Violent Non-State Actors as Deadly Early Adopters. The episode was recorded on 11 October 2019, and the main report discussed is now available online: Virtual Plotters. These are mostly in the first 15 minutes, but it clears up afterwards. This is the first Sub Rosa episode recorded over Skype, so there are a couple of patches of poor sound quality. Part of this discussion looks at how running your own organisation can provide insight into how other organisations are run, including violent organisations, as well as how the academic field of terrorism studies hasnвЂ™t greatly focused on organisational learning.ДЄndrew, Daveed and Nina also discuss broader national security debates, how the вЂњmarketplace of ideasвЂќ can be quite dysfunctional at times, and how start-ups in this area can help address some of these problems but also risk exacerbating them. Nina, as their Chief Operating Officer, tells us about ways in which Valens Global adopts technology and engages in organisational learning. The conversation then turns to Valens Global itself, which is a start-up in the national security sector. This part of the discussion looks at remotely planned terrorist attacks, the use of drones, the use of commercial drones by violent non-state actors, as well as cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. The episode first discusses a new report (co-authored by Daveed along with Matt Shear and David Jones) on the use of technology by violent non-state actors, such as drug cartels, terrorist groups, or insurgent organisations.

This is a lengthy episode, covering a wide range of topics. They discuss technology adoption and organisational learning, focusing on terrorist organisations as well as regular commercial start-ups. For this episode of Sub Rosa, Andrew interviewed Daveed Gartenstein-Ross and Carolina вЂњNinaвЂќ Ponzeto from Valens Global.
