  1. Inside the Pentagon’s Generative AI Task Force

    Inside the Pentagon’s Generative AI Task Force

    Host Glenn Parham takes listeners inside Task Force Lima, the Pentagon’s two-year sprint to bring generative AI into the largest organization in the world. From ChatGPT’s first shockwave in DC to the political and technical battles over model authorizations, Glenn explains what it took to ship working prototypes, bring frontier models into government environments, and publish DoD-specific AI benchmarks. He also lays out his concept for AI Government Alignment—ensuring that government users get the compute, access, and permissions they need without running into the dreaded “As an AI model, I cannot…” wall.

    Introducing AI + Government Alignment

    Glenn Parham introduces AI + Government Alignment, a GovBench framework for adapting AI models to public-sector missions. He breaks down the unique authorities governments hold, the “Coverage × Utility” metric for impact, and the paired checklists—seven requirements for AI systems, seven for governments—that can move the technology from demo to daily tool.

    Episode 0: Welcome to the Model Citizen Podcast

    We’re entering into a new era of incredibly powerful AI, a desire for more efficient and agile government, and a maturing & empowered Gen-z who is exerting increasing pressure politically and institutionally. My name is Glenn, and I’m a software turned AI engineer. I was also the Pentagon’s 1st technical lead of generative AI who is also of Gen-Z, these topics are particularly close to me. I want to evolve the conversation beyond surface-level buzzwords. We know AI is a game changer….how is the government supposed to use it without turning into SkyNet? We know Gen-Z is the future…but their mindset and priorities are dramatically different than previous generations…is that going to influence foreign policy/national security posture over the next few decades? In the Model Citizen Podcast, I’ll be interviewing experts in these topics, some of them former bosses, some of them folks I’ve watched from afar. Talking about substantive topics in an entertaining way can be difficult…but Americans have a vested interest in these ideas. Listen to Model Citizen wherever you get your podcasts!

    Former Defense Digital Service director Jennifer Hay joins host Glenn Parham to unpack why the Pentagon’s celebrated “SWAT team of nerds” shut its doors—and what the new White-House-backed Department of Government Efficiency must learn to avoid the same fate.
