Orders, Obedience and the Senator in the Spotlight; Turbocharging America’s AI
Manage episode 521241533 series 3673340
We’re starting with a political firestorm at the Pentagon. Defense officials have launched a misconduct investigation into Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly over a video he and other former service members recorded, urging people in the military and intelligence community not to carry out illegal orders from the Trump administration. Kelly, a retired Navy pilot, appears alongside several Democrats with national security backgrounds, and the question now is whether their message crossed an ethical line. NBC News senior national security correspondent Courtney Kube joins host Yasmin Vossoghian. And President Donald Trump has launched the “Genesis Mission,” a new executive order meant to turbocharge America’s artificial intelligence capabilities. The plan ramps up federal computing power, opens access to massive government data sets and pushes AI research toward real-world deployment. NBC News reporter and writer Jared Perlo joins the pod to break down what’s in it and what it means for the U.S. tech race.
