Part 3/11:
Reflecting on post-9/11 debates about security versus privacy, the founders recognized that these weren't mutually exclusive in theory—they should be integrated. As engineers, their focus was on building tech that ensures data remains secure, yet maximizes collective understanding across borders and agencies. For instance, Palunteer was instrumental in operational success against ISIS: thwarting an attack involving a downed US drone intended for a hospital bombing. This effort—sharing intelligence across Danish, American, and British agencies—showcased the potential of AI systems to operate smoothly across different national security forces, enabling faster, more effective interventions.
