AI and the Future of National Security
May 19 @ 6:00 pm CDT
This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone.
Artificial Intelligence is quickly reshaping foreign and domestic policy around the world. As machines increasingly replace tasks that required human input or intelligence, governments have struggled to effectively regulate these new tools. How can we better understand the impacts of AI and what are its implications for national security?
Join Global Minnesota for a conversation with Ren Bin Lee Dixon, an AI policy researcher and Global Minnesota’s newest Great Decisions Discussion Group speaker. She will discuss how these systems function and what we can do to make them safer and more effective for public use.
