IARPA: Disbelief to Doubt explores the history and accomplishments of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) through the lens of some of the most impactful current and past programs and the people who worked on them in IARPA's technical offices of Collection and Analysis. In each episode, Program Managers (PMs), technical staff, and research performers will offer candid insights into their personal journeys, what led them to IARPA, and how the unique mission of the organization enables them to be force multipliers as they tackle some of the most difficult cross-community scientific challenges.
Episode Zero – IARPA: Disbelief to Doubt (Trailer) Transcript
Science and technology are rapidly transforming not only how we work and how we live, but how our nation conducts the business of intelligence. Launched in 2006 by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Intelligence Advanced Research Project Activity, IARPA, invests in high-risk/high- payoff research to tackle some of the Intelligence Community’s most difficult challenges.
Since its founding, IARPA has been at the forefront of innovation, sponsoring research that has the potential to push the boundaries of science. This approach often
means starting with an idea that seems impossible then moving from this state of disbelief to a state of just enough skepticism or doubt that bringing together some of the best and brightest minds might allow us to redefine what’s possible.
This podcast series will explore the history and accomplishments of IARPA through the lens of some of its most impactful programs and the thought leaders behind them. We’ll use artificial intelligence to navigate to the moon and back on an unmanned autonomous vehicle. Delve into the structure of the mouse brain to reverse engineer machine learning algorithms. Unpack the science of predicting the future, and much more.
This is IARPA: Disbelief to Doubt.
