Dr. Sandro Gaycken | Deep tech capabilities in intelligence and defense | Rise of AI Conference 2023
Dr. Sandro Gaycken examines the barriers to innovation in intelligence and defense, exploring the rise of AI and its impact on procurement, cybersecurity, and international relations, emphasizing the crucial role of collaboration and start-ups.
- Deep tech capabilities are transforming the intelligence and defense industries, but there are significant barriers to innovation.
- Payment gaps exist between what start-ups can offer and what the defense industry is willing to pay, often leading to frustration and inefficiency.
- Procurement processes are slow, bureaucratic, and often involve multiple parties, making it difficult to rapidly develop and deploy new technologies.
- Political procrastination is a significant hurdle, as decisions are often delayed or avoided, leading to a lack of progress and a failure to leverage new technologies.
- AI and cybersecurity are key areas of focus for defense and intelligence, but there are significant challenges to overcome, including bias, gaps, and complexities.
- Hackers and start-ups are increasingly important players in the defense industry, but their skills and expertise are not always well-suited to traditional procurement processes.
- The rise of AI has created new challenges and opportunities for the defense industry, but it is not always clear how to harness its potential.
- Russian and Chinese defense capabilities are rapidly evolving, and the West needs to catch up in terms of innovation and adaptation.
- Silicon Valley and other tech hubs are playing a significant role in the development of defense technologies, but there is a need for more collaboration and innovation within the industry.
- The importance of start-ups cannot be overstated, as they are often able to innovate and adapt more quickly than traditional defense companies.
- The need for collaboration is critical, as the defense industry needs to work together with other sectors to harness the potential of new technologies.
