Dr. Jennifer McArdle and a Discussion of Artificial and Simulated Training Environments

Text the ATB Team! We'd love to hear from you!

Following her appearance at GNSI Tampa Summit 3: The Future and Ethics of Uncrewed and Autonomous Warfare, Dr. Jennifer McArdle, Senior Director of the Futures Program, CAE USA, spoke with us about how artificial intelligence and virtual training environments are expanding the capabilities of our military and defense forces.
CAE USA is a high-technology company devoted to the idea of bringing the digital and physical worlds closer together. She spoke at length with Dr. Tad Schnauffer, II, GNSI Strategy and Research Manager, about her journey through the national security industry: from playing strategy games with toys as a child, as well as the journey that took her from those games to a PhD from Kings College in London, becoming a CMSP – a Certified Modeling and Simulation Profession – to working on a congressional staff. She’s also an official “Mad Scientist,” as named by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.
This episode was recorded from the GNSI video series "GNSI Speaker Series."
We hope you enjoy the episode.

At the Boundary from the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida, features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.
A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus.
The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels. We hope you enjoy At the Boundary.
