Description
Total length of the course: 1-2 hours
Artificial intelligence has become a central preoccupation of national security, but understanding why requires moving past the headlines. This course maps four distinct categories of AI-related risk, digs into the AI triad of algorithms, data, and compute to explain why states have zeroed in on computing power as a lever for intervention, and examines both the promise and the limits of that approach as the technology and the geopolitical contest around it continue to evolve.
