As innovation and technology accelerate, modern conflict evolves at an unprecedented pace, posing challenges that demand global attention. The fourth annual Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats took place on April 10–11, 2025, bringing together internationally recognized leaders and experts from the military, intelligence, and technology sectors. Together, we tackled pressing issues such as cyber conflict, artificial intelligence, peer competition, and emerging threats. This year’s summit examined the challenges and opportunities posed by AI and the future of national security. Topics explored include Biomedicine and AI, the Changing Character of Conflict, Rethinking Cybersecurity and AI, and A Vision for an AI-Driven Future.
