Meta CTO: Silicon Valley Must Return to Military Partnership

Meta CTO: Silicon Valley Must Return to Military Partnership

Meta's tech chief, Andrew Bosworth, wants Silicon Valley to remember its military roots.

He says that tech companies used to work closely with the US military, and now, he wants them to partner again.

Meta has already teamed up with a defense tech company, Anduril Industries, to make AI-powered gear for the military.

Bosworth believes this is a good thing, as it could save the military money and bring innovation.

While some people in the tech world have been against working with the military in the past, Bosworth thinks things are changing.

He says Meta's technology is primarily for consumers, but it also has potential for military use.

This partnership shows a renewed interest in combining technology with defense.
