As artificial intelligence transforms industries and reshapes national security, it presents both extraordinary opportunities and significant challenges. To address the complexities AI poses to the nation’s economy and security, Vanderbilt University experts retired Gen. Paul Nakasone, founding director of the Vanderbilt University Institute of National Security, and Jesse Spencer-Smith, interim director of Data Science at Vanderbilt University, shared crucial insights with a bipartisan group of congressional staff on Capitol Hill. Nakasone, a former commander of U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency, and Spencer-Smith, a leading AI researcher, were invited by The Congressional Staff Association on Artificial Intelligence, a bicameral, nonpartisan organization, to speak at their inaugural Monthly Speaker Series to demystify AI concepts and technologies. Vanderbilt’s Office of Federal Relations facilitated Nakasone and Spencer-Smith’s participation in this event, enhancing Vanderbilt’s influence on policy by connecting congressional staff with the university’s experts and thought leaders. https://lnkd.in/eJdYVAzT
