The Dawn of AI Warfare: A Conversation with Katrina Manson

The Dawn of AI Warfare: A Conversation with Katrina Manson

How did the U.S. military’s first major AI initiative come to life, and what does it mean for the future of warfare? Please join CSIS on Thursday, May 21, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM EDT for a conversation between Emily Harding and Bloomberg reporter Katrina Manson on her new book, Project Maven: A Marine Colonel, His Team, and the Dawn of AI Warfare. Project Maven transformed how the Pentagon thinks about AI, battlefield decision making, and the future of war. This discussion will explore the personalities behind Project Maven, its path from a windowless office in the Pentagon to a system used in multiple U.S. combatant commands around the world, and the opportunities and risks posed by military AI systems. What is the status of growing AI competition between the United States and China, and what does it mean for the future of U.S. national security and warfare? --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
