Saltsman discusses how veterans can break into tech careers, the work EdgeRunner AI has been doing to integrate artificial intelligence into the military, and his own journey from the Army to the world of AI.Yahoo Finance's Warrior Money, hosted by former Congressman Patrick Murphy and veteran investor Dan Kunze, is dedicated to uplifting the financial well-being of military veterans transitioning into civilian life.
