Approaching the National Security Implications of Artificial General Intelligence

​Please join us for a panel featuring opening remarks from Senators Warner and Rounds and a discussion with Ray Kurzweil (AI futurist), Mark Beall (President of AIPN), and Tarun Chhabra (Head of National Security Policy at Anthropic & Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution).

​Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping everything from the workforce to warfighting. AI is already embedded in military systems in active use today, processing intelligence, prioritizing targets, and compressing decision timelines. That reality demands a commitment to both make AI systems trustworthy and for Congress to prepare for the national security implications and strategic threats posed by Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) – systems that can outperform humans across virtually all domains.

​Once created and deployed, AGI would transform national security dynamics by removing human bottlenecks to warfare, surveillance, coordination and research. It will also fundamentally disrupt our existing systems of oversight and control over national security decision-making.

​The discussion will cover:

• ​Recent AI technical milestones, including Project Mythos and the pathways for AGI development.

• ​Emerging national security capabilities and challenges in using AI from cyberwarfare to the battlefield.

• ​A flexible policy response framework that prepares the US government for AGI's potential risks while pressing our competitive advantage in AI development.
