Hosted by
Auren Hoffman
Jim Rebesco is the co-founder and CEO of Striveworks, an AI ops company deployed across the US Army, Navy, and combatant commands. In April, Striveworks announced a $70M enterprise agreement with the Pentagon, giving nearly a million defense personnel access to its platform. Jim was previously a partner at Virtu Financial, a pioneering high-frequency trading firm.
In this episode of Summation, Jim and Auren discuss:
- why the real question in AI warfare is who pushes the button
- the case that autonomy favors big nation states, not insurgents
- why it costs $200,000 to procure anything in the Pentagon
- what high-frequency trading and war have in common
