SUMMARY:AI and the Future of National Security
DESCRIPTION:This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. \nArtificial 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?  \nJoin 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. \nSpeaker: Ren Bin Lee Dixon\nRen Bin Lee Dixon is an Artificial Intelligence policy researcher with a Master’s in Public Policy\, specializing in AI governance\, from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.

Ren Bin has also collaborated with the Center for Security and Emerging Technology on policy briefs addressing AI harm. She has been invited to deliver guest lectures at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs\, where she speaks on pressing issues related to AI issues and governance. Prior to her policy career\, Ren Bin accumulated over 15 years of international experience in the fashion industry\, working in Malaysia\, China\, and Denmark. Her global experience has shaped a unique perspective that guides her nuanced approach to understanding and addressing the complexities\, risks\, and opportunities presented by AI. \nModerator: Christi Siver\nChristi Siver is a Professor of Political Science at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University.
