AI is a lot of things, but it's fundamentally a power-enhancing technology. It's like having employees, or assistants, or minions -- or Minions. Maybe they're competent, maybe they're not. But they allow their controllers do to more, faster, and maybe sometimes even better.

In this AI Cyber Lunch, Bruce Schneier, Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, will look at AI through the lens of power: the companies that are creating AI systems, the people and industries that can make better use of AI, and the countries where all this tech is being developed. 

Q&A to follow.
