Together, they unpack: Why cybersecurity and data integrity must be the foundation of AI adoption How real-world conflicts like Ukraine are reshaping battlefield technologies What ethical AI deployment looks like across the military, government, and industry Why collaboration, not competition, is key to staying ahead of adversaries How to prepare today’s workforce for tomorrow’s digital fight They also discuss the value of participating in AFCEA’s TechNet Emergence, where government, industry and academia will unite to set the stage for #emergingtechnologies.
