The United States’ Special Operations Command is currently playing a critical role advancing the employment of AI and machine learning in the fight against the country’s current and future advisories, through Project Maven. To discuss the initiatives taking place as part of the project, General Richard Clarke, who currently serves as the Commander of USSOCOM, and Richard Shultz, who has served as a security consultant to various U.S. government agencies since the mid-1980s, joined the Hudson Institute for a virtual discussion on Monday.
