Join Katrina Mulligan, National Security Lead for OpenAI and former U.S. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, in conversation with Dr Brianna Rosen, Executive Director of the Oxford Programme for Cyber and Tech Policy and Dr Roxana Radu, Associate Professor of Digital Technologies and Public Policy, as part of the Global Tech Policy Seminar Series.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the foundations of national security—introducing powerful new tools for intelligence, defense, and diplomacy, while also changing the speed, scale, and nature of global competition. This talk will examine how frontier AI models are transforming the security landscape, highlighting opportunities (such as logistics optimization and decision support) and risks (including misuse, escalation, and the erosion of strategic stability).

Drawing on current research and policy debates, the conversation will explore a central challenge for democracies: how to harness AI responsibly for national advantage while setting global norms that prevent destabilizing uses.

This event is part of the Global Tech Policy Seminar Series hosted by the Oxford Programme for Cyber and Technology Policy (OxCTP).
