This interview was so good.
Jason Matheny, Biden's former top tech + national security advisor, has recently reached one year as CEO of RAND.
We had a truly classic ChinaTalk-style conversation, hitting on:
- How to design a world-class research organization
- The right and wrong lessons to learn from RAND's heyday in the 1950s
- Existential risks around AI and bio
- Government's capacity to grok and implement technology strategy
- What national security professionals can learn from art and architecture
And a ton more.
