On this week’s episode, the Hudson Institute’s Bryan Clark joins She Thinks to discuss America’s #1 threat—the People’s Republic of China (PRC)—and how utilizing the latest technology is the best way to deter their imperialist plans. We look at how China has modernized their military, why emerging technologies including AI are key, and whether increasing our defense budget is necessary.  Bryan Clark is a senior fellow and director at the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology at the Hudson Institute. He’s an expert in naval operations, electronic warfare, autonomous systems, military competitions, and wargaming. In addition, Clark is a former Navy submariner and senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA), where he led studies for the DoD Office of Net Assessment, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Defense Advanced Research Products Agency on new technologies and the future of warfare.--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today’s news cycle and are seeking the truth.
