How are cutting-edge new technologies influencing the complex defense and intelligence policy decisions that America is facing in the next administration? What are we learning from the way some of these technologies are being used in the current wars in Ukraine and the Middle East? Join your fellow Yalies and their guests for a lively talk by Paul Bracken, professor emeritus of management and political science at Yale. In his presentation, Professor Bracken will take us behind the scenes for a look at how the United States and its adversaries, particularly China, are looking to embrace new technologies reflected in artificial intelligence, hypersonic missiles, drones, space weapons, and the next generation of nuclear weapons.

 Professor Bracken is the author of The Command and Control of Nuclear Forces (1983); Fire in the East: The Rise of Asian Military Power and the Second Nuclear Age (1999); The Second Nuclear Age: Strategy, Danger, and the New Power Politics (2013); and new book currently being written for Yale University Press on AI and nuclear weapons. He served for 20 years on the Chief of Naval Operations’ Executive Panel, has been a visiting scholar at the CIA, and is listed in Princeton Review’s “Best 300 Professors in the U.S.” He continues to teach in the Yale School of Management’s executive education program, and is a fellow of Silliman College.
