Johnson Center conference addresses cyberwarfare and artificial intelligence - Yale Jackson Institute for Global Affairs

Most companies are not very well prepared for the weaponizing of cyberspace by foreign governments. That was part of an assessment of the current state of cyberspace by Eric Schmidt, former chairman of Alphabet, Inc. and CEO of Google. Schmidt gave the remarks during his keynote address at the two-day annual conference of the Yale Johnson Center for the Study of American Diplomacy, which kicked off on April 6. This year's conference, "Understanding Cyberwarfare and Artificial Intelligence," drew both academics and practitioners. This was the seventh annual conference of the Johnson Center, which was made possible by Dr. Henry Kissinger's donation of his papers to Yale and a generous gift from Charles B. Johnson '54 and Nicholas F. Brady '52.
