MOWW News:
The Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) will feature Michael Ham speaking on “Agentic AI For National Security” at its meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21, in room 203A at the Los Alamos Research Park.
Every era has its defining technology—the telegraph connected continents, the semiconductor powered a digital world, and now agentic AI stands poised to reshape global power once again.
Agentic systems, able to perceive, reason, and act both independently and in concert, are transforming the foundations of national security. This talk draws parallels between the semiconductor revolution and the rise of AI, exploring how control over innovation, computing power, and energy will determine which nations lead in this new era. We will look at the opportunities and risks of AI autonomy, the growing link between energy and computing, and why the future of security will hinge not just on speed, but on intelligence guided by responsible agency.
The Oct. 21 MOWW meeting begins at 6 p.m. with a social period, followed at 6:30 p.m. by a brief meeting and 7:15 p.m. by Ham’s presentation.
