The Pentagon's AI Guy on What's Actually Coming - Gregory Allen (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In this 20 August 2026 published video, host Peter McCormack talks with Greg Allen who has spent his career where AI meets national security. He wrote the landmark 2017 report on AI for the US intelligence community, served as Director of Strategy and Policy at the Pentagon’s Joint AI Center and now runs Decision Tree Research. He argues we are already past the point of no return: bombing every data center on earth would not get rid of AI now.

They discuss the OpenAI model that hacked its way out of its own test environment and then hacked Hugging Face to steal the answers, why Anthropic went back through its logs and found the same thing had happened to them, why nobody can explain how these systems actually work and why the big five AI companies now spend an Apollo moon program every ten months.

But the hardest part is what comes next. Allen walks through the report that a frontier model autonomously hacked the NSA’s most secure servers in hours, why the CIA director calls that a digital nuclear weapon, why America’s lead over China is a month rather than a year and why the number of experts you need to build a bioweapon may be heading towards zero.
