Jordan Blashek: Leveraging AI for America’s Future
Navin is joined by Jordan Blashek, a U.S. Marine veteran, investor, and co-founder of America’s Frontier Fund. They discuss how the U.S. military uses AI on the battlefield, accelerating the R&D cycle to bring critical technologies to market, and the importance of public-private partnerships to bolster U.S. competitiveness.
Blashek is the co-founder and managing partner of AFF, a mission-driven fund investing in frontier technologies that are vital to U.S. competitiveness on the global stage. His perspective on innovation and investing in America’s future evolved during his service with the U.S. Marine Corps, seeing first hand how critical technology like artificial intelligence can influence communications and intelligence operations across the board.
