DESCRIPTION:Harvard Law School. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence a
 re increasingly vital to national security operations.  The United States\
 , China\, and other states seek to harness these tools to bolster their ow
 n military and intelligence superiority. Yet their advent exacerbates an e
 xisting paradox within our democracy: some of the most consequential decis
 ions made in the name of national security are often the least transparent
  and accountable – and the use of AI makes this problem worse.\n\nIn her
  new book\, The Double Black Box\, Ashley Deeks unpacks this pressing chal
 lenge. She examines how we can ensure democratic accountability\, legality
 \, and effectiveness in the use of artificial intelligence tools within na
 tional security processes\, and which traditional and nontraditional check
 s on the executive branch might be brought to bear on the use of national 
 security AI.\n\nHarvard Law School Professor Kristen Eichensehr will hold 
 a conversation with Deeks about the book\, unpacking its arguments and inv
 iting the audience into the discussion.\n\nCopies of Deeks' book will be s
 old at the event.
