Chris Cleary On Cyber Privateering, Private-Sector Power, And AI Deterrence | Ep. 51

Chris Cleary examines whether sanctioned private organizations could help confront ransomware groups and other cyber adversaries.

The conversation explores constitutional letters of marque, the limits of hack-back, the case for a dedicated cyber force, critical infrastructure protection, and the expanding power of telecom, cloud, and technology companies. Chris also considers how AI-enabled, non-kinetic effects might reshape deterrence and reduce the human cost of future conflict, without requiring human nature itself to change.
