Convening to Act
Managing High Impact Artificial Intelligence National Security Applications
March 27-28, 2025

The NCF's Progress Through Partnership with the National Security Agency (NSA) is essential for staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the resilience of our nation's security infrastructure. Thus, the NCF, in partnership with the NSA, sponsors a series of dialogues called Convening to Act programs to identify emerging challenges in cybersecurity and cryptology. The first two programs explored the topic of Quantum Resistant Cryptography. Learn more about upcoming and prior programs via the main Convening to Act page.

Join the NCF on March 27-28, 2025 for a multidisciplinary dialogue, including government and industry, to discuss "Managing High Impact AI National Security Applications" for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and beyond, including small and medium-sized businesses. 

This will be a robust two day program with the option of attending an onsite dinner and fireside chat on the first day. 

Critical issues for the use of AI in national security to be addressed at the conference include:

  • Legal
  • Policy
  • Compliance
  • Security
  • Equality
  • Privacy implications and considerations
