Today on #NatSecTech… @JeanneMeserve sat down with Angela Sheffield, Director of AI Strategy for Energy at @AccentureFed, live at the #AIExpoDC to discuss the Department of @ENERGY's Genesis Mission — a bold effort to harness AI and compress scientific discovery from decades to mere years. Drawing on her experience as a national lab scientist, military officer, and DOE program manager, Sheffield explains how connecting data across the national laboratories could unlock everything from critical mineral independence to next-generation nuclear reactors, and what it will take to deliver a "Manhattan Project 2.0" for American science. 📺 youtu.be/Ayi0D5o6krI?si=c2xe… 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/33r…

Propaganda has existed for centuries, but artificial intelligence and neurological research are transforming it into something far more dangerous: cognitive warfare. Live at the 2026 #AIExpoDC, Anshu Roy joined #NatSecTech to share his perspective on the rise of cognitive warfare. Anshu is the founder and CEO of Rhombus Power, an AI company delivering predictive intelligence for national security. Drawing on his experience building predictive intelligence tools and supporting active military operations, he explains how information warfare and kinetic warfare are converging and why cognitive warfare may be the next nuclear weapon. 📺youtu.be/Y0pxyWusPZo 🍎podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… 🎧open.spotify.com/episode/4jz…

In my latest op-ed for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, I argue the Defense Department should focus less on what is already saturated with investment (i.e. AI) and more on underfunded gaps of critical technologies such as advanced materials, energy resilience, and emerging manufacturing capabilities. @CSETGeorgetown @BulletinAtomic Read here: thebulletin.org/2026/05/beyo… #AI #NatSecTech #CriticalTech

The maritime domain is now a theater of deliberate opacity. The convergence of space-based EO and mission-driven AI represents a fundamental shift in what defense and intel orgs can know and act on. Join Windward’s Jonathan Goldman & @vantortech's Michael Bergen at #AIExpoDC for a fireside chat and first-look demo of our joint Agentic AI. Moderated by @JeanneMeserve (#NatSecTech).
