About This Podcast

NatSec Tech is a podcast from the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) that explores the critical intersection of emerging technology and national security. Hosted by veteran award-winning journalist Jeanne Meserve, the series provides a high-level look at how the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, synthetic labor, and advanced manufacturing is reshaping the global landscape. Every first and third Wednesday of the month, Meserve engages in deep-dive conversations with world-class experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to untangle the complexities of the modern "techno-economic" competition. The show moves beyond the headlines to examine the long-term implications of innovation on our workforce, our education systems, and our standing on the world stage.
