About this event
JSOU Snapshot is a series of short learning videos made just for you, busy special operations professionals, to educate and inform on topics of interest, confusion, controversy, and question. The objective of these short videos is to teach or clarify concepts that are important for you to know, in 5 minutes or less. In this video, we follow on from our last video, where we considered the nature of artificial intelligence, and what affect it might have on Special Operations in the near future . . . . we consider the how dangerous a threat artificial intelligence may or may not be to Special Operations, and what we can do about it. Keep an eye out for more JSOU Snapshots in the near future!
