Applying Agentic AI: An Epoch-Level Transformation

Harvard Faculty, Fellows, Staff, and Students

Agentic artificial intelligence is on the cusp of producing an epoch-level transformation of how we work. AI models that go beyond producing content to acting with autonomy are a force-multiplier that will also drive real, transformational change, according to Aaron Brown, former CIA operations officer and Army Ranger and current CEO of Lumbra. Brown has founded multiple startups. His current company, Lumbra, is an AI and strategic decision-making startup that has won contracts with the intelligence community and the Department of War (then the Department of Defense). In this Intelligence Project seminar, he will discuss his work on helping usher in the age of agentic AI for strategic decision-making in the domain of national security. This session is open to Harvard ID holders and will be held under the Chatham House rules. Registration is required. Light refreshments will be served.
