Abstract: Artificial intelligence is part of a broader “general-purpose” technology ecosystem that is transforming global security. Alongside AI, new threat vectors are emerging—from the growing role of non-state actors to the expansion of national security domains beyond land, sea, and air to include cyber and space. For middle powers, this landscape is further complicated by patchwork regulatory frameworks and the dominance of rules set by global powers. At the same time, the distinction between economic security and national security is rapidly dissolving, raising urgent questions about resilience, sovereignty, and competitiveness. This talk will explore what these shifts mean for the national capacity of governments, the role of civil servants, and the need to reimagine defence and security institutions in a digital era.
