  ABOUT THE EVENT

  America stands at a pivotal moment in history, where artificial intelligence is reshaping the very foundation of national security. AI is not just a technological advancement—it is a force multiplier, one that can either strengthen our defenses or be exploited by our adversaries. Our challenge is clear: to harness its power for good while mitigating the risks that come with it.

  AI enhances our ability to detect cyber threats, streamline intelligence gathering, and improve emergency response. It helps us predict attacks before they happen and respond faster when they do. But make no mistake—our adversaries are moving just as quickly. State and non-state actors are already using AI for cyber warfare, disinformation campaigns, and supply chain disruptions, issues that impact the public and private sector.

  In this speech, Juliette Kayyem will discuss the national security implications of AI and how we can better harness its powers and regulate the vulnerabilities it is creating for our safety.
