Eric Schmidt, having spent a decade as the CEO and chairman of Google, is widely regarded as one of the fathers of modern Silicon Valley. He’s long been called upon for his national-security nous, too. Today, he combines both areas of expertise in his defence-tech work. He founded a drone company and has become one of the most influential foreign participants in Ukraine’s military-tech capability.
Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, spoke to Mr Schmidt in Kyiv to discuss what changes he’s seen on Ukraine’s front line, America’s tech race with China, and how AI stands to change war—and the world—for good.
