What Science Fiction Missed About the Future of Warfare with Will Roper

Science fiction has long track record of predicting tomorrow’s wars. Smartphones, precision navigation, and battlefield drones all marched from page to reality. But sci-fi’s vision of sentient AI waging autonomous wars isn't emerging as scripted. A messier—arguably as concerning future is.  

Come hear how today's war in Ukraine, Formula One racing, and breakthroughs in AI will shape future battlefields with Will Roper, Distinguished Professor of the Practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs. Roper takes us on a journey starting with the Pentagon's earliest AI efforts to what tomorrow's conflicts may hold in store.
