Join us tomorrow in person at Dartmouth or online to hear Emily Harding of CSIS discuss AI, Cybersecurity, and National Defense.

Artificial intelligence, cyber operations, and emerging technologies are rapidly changing the landscape of U.S. national security, transforming how threats are detected, decisions are made, and conflicts are fought. In conversation with Government Professor Daryl Press, Faculty Director of the Davidson Institute for Global Security, Emily Harding will discuss how these technologies are reshaping intelligence work and national defense. Drawing on her experience at the CIA, the National Security Council, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and CSIS, Harding will examine how policymakers and intelligence professionals are adapting to an era of faster information, more complex threats, and intensifying strategic competition.
