Great Decisions at the Library – 11/10/25
Great Decisions meets this Monday at 6 pm, Main Library
Our next “Great Decisions” topic – “AI and our National Security” – elicits high anxiety among many of us as we consider the unprecedented risks and challenges of this rapidly developing technology. The threats to cybersecurity, national defense and personal privacy, the dangers of mass surveillance, use of unreliable AI technologies in law enforcement, social media bots and insufficient industry self-regulation are among many concerns. What is being done to address these risks? Is there enforceable global governance of artificial intelligence? So many questions surround these amazing developments that you would rather not think about it…but AI is a high tech tsunami that has already hit us.
We will meet in the Walpole Town Library on Monday, November 10, at 6:00 pm. The relevant reading from the Foreign Policy Association is “AI and American National Security,” by Julie George. A copy of this article can be emailed to you upon request sent to Library Director Jane Malmberg: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org If you are joining via Zoom, please request the Zoom link from Jane Malmberg prior to the meeting and join at 6:30 pm, after the “Master Class” video.
