CTO from Meta Andrew Bosworth said that the social media giant’s partnership with Defense Technology Startup Anduril determines “return to grace” to the Silicon Valley’s relationship with the army.
“The valley was based on a tripartite investment between the army, academics and the private industry. This was its establishment,” Bosworth said during an interview at the Bloomberg Technology Summit in San Francisco on Wednesday.
He added: “There will be no technology if we are not all charged with the problem of preserving marine ballistic paths during the first two world wars. This is the heart and spirit of investment that led to what we are today, and this is what has already been cut for a while there.”
Last week, Meta announced that it was cooperating with Anduril to build reality equipment that extends from the next generation of the American army. Andoril said in a statement released on May 29 that the project will include the driving and control system in which artificial intelligence works, and a network, as well as technology from Meta’s Reality Labs and Llama Ai.
“The voltage was funded through private capital, without the support of taxpayers, and it is designed to save the US military billions by using high -performance components and technology that was originally built for commercial use,” Andwell said in her statement.
Busworth said on Wednesday that it was “very early” to determine whether the army would turn into a Lamita business sector.
“Until now, it is like zero. Let’s start with one and go from there. I think there is no reason that cannot be meaningful in its effect,” continued.
Busworth said that the partnership with Andoril does not mean that dead became a defense contractor.
“They got a system in a program. We provide them with parts. So all we do is for consumers. We are developing technology with a target on consumer fans,” he said.
“It turns out that many of this technology can be multi -use and this is where I want to create a partnership.”
Bosworth is not the only executive authority in the Silicon Valley that is looking to achieve steps in the defense industry.
Last year, Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and Chairman of the Board of Directors, said he was working for a pilot pilot from a drone with the CEO of Udaceity Sebastian Thrun. The start -up starting to start the White Scork, to create drones that can produce enemy targets using artificial intelligence.
“Because of the way the regime works, I am a licensed arms dealer,” Schmidt said in a lecture at Stanford University in April 2024.
