Description
Artificial intelligence continues to play a pivotal role in the new age of technology. As the digital world expands, generative AI technologies infiltrate the lives of every citizen. It is vital to investigate how this technology is impacting the national security realm now and in the future. The MSC SCONA panel will provide the perfect opportunity to explore the consequences of artificial intelligence and the need for a constantly evolving and adaptable approach to national security in the cyber age.
MSC Student Conference on National Affairs
The MSC Student Conference On National Affairs, or MSC SCONA, is the oldest student organization in the Memorial Student Center at Texas A&M University in College Station. In February 2026, the student-run organization will host its 71st conference and continue the legacy of building up future leaders to solve the problems of today and tomorrow. The SCONA Conference features notable national security speakers and roundtables on issues the United States is facing with subject-matter experts as facilitators and students from around the nation as delegates. The SCONA committee meets weekly to plan the annual conference, listen to speakers, and engage in professional development opportunities, such as resume workshops. There are numerous other social opportunities each month for members to engage in and build community through, like dinner outings or recreational sports leagues.
