About the symposium
Applied Intuition, in collaboration with the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, is excited to invite you to its second annual Nexus conference: Nexus 23. This two-day symposium is an opportunity for senior leaders in the autonomy industry, the defense community, Congress, and the broader national security enterprise to come together and discuss critical issues at the intersection of national security and autonomy.
This event will take place in-person across two days from May 17-18, 2023 at the National Press Club (529 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20045). Register here.
National security
Strategic competitors are advancing autonomy and AI-enabled technology. This threatens global security and US national security interests.
Unity of purpose
The Department of Defense, Congress, and autonomy companies must act collectively to define and implement effective use cases for defense autonomy.
Trust in autonomy
Operators of today’s manned systems need to trust the autonomous systems of tomorrow. This requires action at the technical and policy levels.
Deploying at Speed
Harnessing autonomy is imperative to prevailing in a future conflict. How can we streamline acquisition processes to acquire essential capabilities?
