Artificial Intelligence for National Security (AI4NATSEC-23A)


 Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies promise to be the most powerful tools in generations for expanding knowledge, increasing prosperity, and enriching the human experience.  AI will fuel competition between governments and companies racing to field it, and it will be employed by nation-states to pursue their strategic ambitions.  Artificial Intelligence for National Security Leaders (AI4NATSEC) provides Department of Defense (DOD) senior leaders with a foundational understanding of AI, what AI means for national security, and how to take advantage of AI.  With a focus on the organizational and managerial implications of these technologies, grounded in the technical aspects, participants leave this program armed with the knowledge they need to lead the successful integration of AI into national security.  Informed senior leaders will lead the change necessary to help manifest the promise of AI for the DOD and transform how the nation and its strategic goals are defended.
