Recent advances in frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models have sparked intense interest in their potential to transform cyber offense and defense alike. How capable are today's AI systems at cyber-relevant tasks? Which emerging capabilities matter most? And as these systems continue to advance, what should defenders, policymakers, and industry do to prepare?

Join the Center for a New American Security on Monday, November 10 from 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. ET for an expert panel discussing these questions and more. The panel will feature:

Andrew Lohn: Senior Fellow, Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), leading the CyberAI team; Visiting Scientist, MIT FutureTech; and previously the Director for Emerging Technology on the National Security Council Staff

Chris Rohlf: Security Engineer, Meta; and Non-resident Research Fellow, CSET

Caleb Withers: Research Associate for the Technology and National Security Program, CNAS

Derek B. Johnson: Reporter, CyberScoop

This event builds upon the new CNAS report Tipping the Scales: Emerging AI Capabilities and the Cyber Offense-Defense Balance, in which Caleb Withers analyzes the present impact of AI on cyber defense and offense and projects how future frontier AI capabilities could shape the offense-defense balance.

Live viewers will have the opportunity to ask questions during the event.
