Description:

AI may soon become a key driver of geopolitical competition, with countries vying for technological supremacy and economic dominance. The potential of AI technologies to revolutionize industries, enhance military capabilities and shape societal norms has far-reaching implications for the disruption of traditional geopolitical balances, particularly as AI development outpaces the ability of policymakers to establish comprehensive governance frameworks.

What are the geopolitical risks and opportunities associated with AI development? What strategies are being developed to prevent the misuse of AI? How can states promote responsible and ethical AI development to shape the future of AI in a way that benefits humanity?

Join us for our winter quarter Buffett Symposium on AI and Geopolitics convening leading strategists, researchers and policymakers to discuss the transformative opportunities and profound challenges that AI poses in geopolitics. These leaders will offer insights on the increasing influence of AI technologies on global power dynamics, national security, economic development, international relations and more.

Co-sponsored by the Northwestern Security & AI Lab (NSAIL) and University College Cork.
