About the Course

The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), in partnership with Coursera, created this custom course to upskill national security professionals in AI. SCSP is the premier voice in the national security space, driving recommendations and conversations about the crucial role that emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence, play in the national security and competitiveness space that defines our world today. This course will provide hands-on, use-case driven upskilling in AI for mid-career national security practitioners. While many AI educational offerings are available for senior leaders, or as basic fundamental skills for everyone, there are no publicly available, free, and asynchronous courses targeting national security practitioners with real-world tactical applications. Each module is designed to address different dimensions of learning how to use AI to be more effective and efficient for national security missions and why being AI-ready is so important. Our lessons feature a range of senior leaders in national security who both demo these tools and explain their importance in operations today. The course includes hands-on training with screencast examples and prepared worksheet exercises to help learners experiment with these tools on actual use cases across various career fields including operations, human resources, acquisition, policy, and financial management. The United States will not maintain global dominance unless we make bureaucracy go faster and leverage AI tools at scale for operational advantage. This course will advance learners’ ability to leverage AI tools today for their mission and to become a change agent in their organization to drive AI adoption at scale....

Hello, I am Aydin Karademir and I am planning to do my master's degree in security studies at Georgetown University. However, since my GBA is low, I am making up for that gap with security themed trainings. Will you give me a certificate at the end of the training? I really need it because I want to be accepted to the master's program.

This course provided a timely and well-structured foundation for understanding the strategic and operational implications of AI in national security. The mix of technical insight, real-world case studies, and policy considerations was well-balanced, making the material relevant for both practitioners and decision-makers. I particularly appreciated the hands-on exercises, which encouraged critical thinking across ethics, governance, and deployment. One area for improvement could be more detailed guidance on implementation frameworks within government agencies or public-private initiatives. A module focused on interagency AI coordination or procurement challenges would be valuable in future versions. Overall, an excellent course that equips professionals with the mindset and tools needed to responsibly advance AI in national security settings.

The course "AI in National Security: Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Public Sector Missions" provides a solid foundation on the role of AI in the public sector. However, I would recommend increasing the number of practical exercises to better illustrate its real-world benefits.
