Description

My guest today is Kent Kresa, who has had an extraordinary career in advanced technology fields. Kent has been the Chairman of General Motors, the chairman of Caltech's board of directors, the chairman and chief executive of Northrop Grumman (the global aerospace and defense technology company), and Chairman of the biotech company MannKind Corporation. Earlier, he was with the top-secret defense research agency DARPA. How's that for a resume! We focus on the future of transportation and the future of smart cities driven by artificial intelligence. We get into what these technologies mean for daily life, governance, and warfare. We explore the incredible opportunities as well as the risks and vulnerabilities of the tech-driven world we're heading into — and in some regards is already in place. __________ MIND & MACHINE features interviews by August Bradley with leaders in transformational technologies.
