Friday, April 22nd, 2022 Artificial Intelligence vs. Natural Stupidity: Myths of Technology and the Realities of War

DateTimeLocation
Friday, April 22, 20222:00PM - 3:00PMBoardroom and Library, Online Event

Description

Join us on April 22 as panelists discuss the contrast between popular expectations for future war involving cyber, drones, and AI and how they contrast with the ugly realities revealed in Ukraine. Technologies are prominent in the war, of course, but in different ways. Instead of cyberwar we see intensive and effective propaganda. Instead of killer robots we see global media and logistics networks mobilized to support Ukraine. Instead of secret espionage advantages we see intelligence being revealed publicly, before and during the war. And instead of a lightning fast battle, we are seeing a grim war of attrition.
