Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lawfare Daily: AI Targeting Systems Are Coming—But Not as Fast as You Think
Q: What are the main bottlenecks that prevent diffusion of AI targeting capabilities to other militaries?
Diffusion is constrained by the need for extensive surveillance infrastructure, data quality, investment in data centers and compute, and the complex, nuanced work of integrating data into a cohesive kill chain, rather than simply exporting a model.
Lawfare Daily: How To Make a Patriot, with Fabian Hoffman
Q: What factors make these licenses politically sensitive and what are the broader strategic implications for Ukraine?
Licenses signal trust and deepen alliance cohesion, but they also raise concerns about safeguarding technology from diversion, necessitating strict certification, oversight, and possible pan-European supply arrangements to build a capable but secure industrial base.
Lawfare Daily: How To Make a Patriot, with Fabian Hoffman
Q: Can you explain how licensing actually works with Patriot interceptors, who grants the license and what it allows?
The licensor (the foreign manufacturer) grants the license to a licensee (the domestic manufacturer). The process is not just a commercial transfer; it requires government approval to permit the transfer of sensitive military technology, and it enables production of interceptors under the licensor's IP, with ongoing considerations like certification and adherence to the original specifications.
Lawfare Archive: Making Sense of the Doppelganger Disinformation Operation, with Thomas Rid
Q: What exactly is Doppelganger and what led you to write about it now?
Doppelganger is a Kremlin-linked disinformation project that cloned media sites in several countries, seeded coordinated narratives, and monitored target audiences; the leak and the accompanying affidavit provide a rare window into its operation, its scale, and its internal dynamics, which makes now a critical moment to analyze its methods and implications.
Lawfare Archive: The U.S. Bombing of Yemen and the Houthi Response
Q: What lessons can be drawn from Saudi and UAE interventions in Yemen for U.S. policy going forward?
Air power alone has historically failed to deliver lasting political outcomes in Yemen; successful policy would require a more comprehensive approach, potentially including ground components or broader regional coalitions, and careful consideration of long-term costs and reputational risks associated with alliance choices.
