Coursera: The Special Competitive Studies Project Partners with Coursera to Offer Free Online AI National Security Course

The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) and Coursera partnered to launch a four-module course on artificial intelligence and national security for federal employees working in national security positions. Last year, SCSP recognized the importance of strengthening technology proficiency within the federal workforce to ensure continued national security leadership. Coursera, a global online learning platform, particularly in AI, offers valuable expertise in this area. To support national security professionals in applying AI effectively, SCSP partnered with Coursera to develop a specialized course focused on practical applications of AI in the field. The four original content modules designed by SCSP cover why AI is a critical feature of national security, best practices of AI in national security, how AI tools can be deployed for national security priorities, and how to advocate for the advancement of AI adoption within the national security apparatus. This course addresses the national security imperative of preparing a technologically advanced workforce that will stay ahead of the ever-changing technological and national security landscape. The age of AI demands the company state and federal workforce be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively integrate AI into their missions. A well-prepared and AI-proficient workforce is essential to securing victory in the global technology competition.
