The overarching question imparting urgency to this exploration is: Can U.S.-Russian contention in cyberspace cause the two nuclear superpowers to stumble into war? In considering this question we were constantly reminded of recent comments by a prominent U.S. arms control expert: At least as dangerous as the risk of an actual cyberattack, he observed, is cyber operations’ “blurring of the line between peace and war.” Or, as Nye wrote, “in the cyber realm, the difference between a weapon and a non-weapon may come down to a single line of code, or simply the intent of a computer program’s user.”

THE BOSTON TECH HUB FACULTY WORKING GROUP
This event is hosted by the Boston Tech Hub Faculty Working Group, which was founded by former Secretary of Defense and Belfer Center Director Ash Carter and Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Dean Frank Doyle.
From February to May 2023, the group held monthly discussion-based meetings with senior faculty across Harvard and MIT and practitioners/decision makers across the public and private sectors that sought to explore and answer the questions: “How do we execute on the promise of the CHIPS and Science Act in an effective way?” and “Where do we go from here?”
