Description

Artificial intelligence will change the future of global security and stability, but what does it mean for missions today? The Defense Innovation Board wrote that “speed is overtaking all other variables as the decisive feature of military advantage. Near-peer competitors are fielding weapons systems that harness new technologies more rapidly than the United States.” How should the U.S. military think about harnessing AI to counter potential adversaries and maintain future superiority? Our panel of experts from government, industry and academia will tackle these pressing questions and more.
