    a16z Podcast | What's Next for Technology and National Security?

    Marc Andreessen, Michèle Flournoy, Matt Spence

    Mark Andreessen and former Undersecretary of Defense Michelle Flournoy, moderated by Matt Spence, convene with experts Richard Fontaine and Ted Ulliot to analyze the accelerating volatility of global security. Flournoy argues that U.S. strategic disadvantages stem from rigid procurement systems and internal regulatory hesitancy rather than China's industrial policy, urging a shift toward agile, bottom-up experimentation and stable multi-year budgeting. The panelists further advocate for deeper personnel exchange between Silicon Valley and the government to harmonize technological innovation with mission-driven national defense and Middle East strategy.
