Show Notes
Coming soon: Strength in Numbers. A show from the University of Virginia’s National Security Data and Policy Institute, produced by FP Studios. How are artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies shaping national security? In each episode, we’ll look at the critical materials powering these trends and how this technology is being used on the battlefield and ask key policymakers and experts how to use these tools to make sure the United States stays competitive against potential adversaries.
More from Strength in Numbers
Strength in Numbers continues its conversation from the National Security Data and Policy Institute’s (NSDPI) annual conference by analyzing how the United States’ and China’s distinct industrial policies are shaping the AI arms race. How are the decision-making and regulatory styles of these two countries shaping this technological competition?
Strength in Numbers was recently recorded live at the annual conference of the National Security Data and Policy Institute (NSDPI). The conference hosted discussions on several of the topics we’ve covered this season—critical minerals, supply chains, the AI arms race with China—and we wanted to bring a flavor of those conversations directly to you.
Is the United States in an artificial intelligence arms race with China? How are policymakers assessing possible economic and national security threats? How should China be understood as a potential peer competitor? And who’s likely to win?
Much has been said about the United States and China’s approach to artificial intelligence, but another key player in the AI race is Europe. How are its regulators, political leaders, and industry approaching this new technology? Gabriele Mazzini, the lead architect on the EU’s landmark AI Act , joins host Jennifer Strong to discuss how this landmark legislation was brought into being—and what could now change.
How are policymakers assessing future security challenges and what is being done to mitigate those threats? George Foresman, a senior advisor at the National Security Data and Policy Institute (NSDPI), shares his experience as the first undersecretary of preparedness at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security with host Jennifer Strong.
