**__Please be advised: This event will premiere LIVE on this page at 9:00 a.m. EST, Thursday, January 14.__**

Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with U.S. Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) on the recently released report “Rightly Scaled, Carefully Open, Infinitely Agile: Reconfiguring to Win the Innovation Race in the Intelligence Community,” from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Strategic Technologies and Advanced Research (STAR) Subcommittee. The discussion will be moderated by Senior Fellow Bryan Clark, with additional perspectives from Adjunct Fellow Dr. Dan Patt.

Innovation is happening almost everywhere, including in the laboratories of our adversaries. Just as nuclear technology changed the world 75 years ago, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, biosynthesis and other new technologies promise to radically alter the geopolitical landscape. Will the United States lead in the development of these technologies or will we follow? The Subcommittee’s recommendations focus on the critical components of innovation: money, people, and the environment in which they come together; strategic vision and coordination; and the development of international norms.

Please join the director of Hudson’s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology Bryan Clark for a discussion of the STAR Subcommittee’s findings and recommendations with Chairman Jim Himes and Adjunct Fellow Dr. Dan Patt.
