This week I caught up again with Marcel Plichta. Marcel is a member of the Grey Dynamics team, he is also a PhD candidate at St. Andrews and an Ex-DIA Analyst. We discussed the context of Finland's NATO membership, the state of UGVs, the Great power competition in Africa, and how generative AI models like ChatGPT could be applied to intelligence in practice.You can find Marcel on:Grey DynamicsTwitterLinkedInWe spoke aboutContext of Finland’s NATO membership (1:05)The state of UVGs (9:58)The limited footage available of UGVs deployment (14:29)Potential Wagner attack on Chinese miners in CAR (17:35)The West’s waning influence over Africa (23:09)Iranian Drones in the Middle East (35:07)The application of ChatGPT in intelligence (40:10)Grey Dynamics analysis (50:36)Cultural recommendations (53:50)Closing words (1:02:49)Related Links:Wagner PMC Activity in the Central African Republic: A Geospatial AnalysisDrone Threat Intelligence, 3D Printing and Dark Networks with Mike MonnikTsunami Torpedoes, Ukrainian USVs & Narco Subs with HI SuttonDrones, Robotics, AI and Hybrid Warfare in Ukraine with Samuel BendettSahel Security Week, French Exodus & Wagner COIN Efforts with MenastreamChatGPT, The Intelligence Community & Career Advice with Mike EvansThe Grey Dynamics Podcast is available on all major platforms!YouTubeSpotifyApple Podcast Google PodcastAmazon PodcastSubscribe to Grey Dynamics Hosted on Acast.
