Cumming Meeting Room

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion on world affairs. Forsyth County Public Library and the University of North Georgia (UNG) will present information and lead discussions on a range of fascinating and timely geopolitical topics selected by the Foreign Policy Association. 

This week’s topic is Science Across Borders presented by Chris Mitchiner.

Scientific advances benefit from collaboration between researchers, but what happens when material, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) is controversial and important to a nation’s national security? Is there a middle ground between sharing information and denying access? How can we regulate cooperation?

For additional information and resources on Science Across Borders, please visit the Foreign Policy Association website.

Great Decisions topics for 2024 include:

January 10: Mideast Realignment

January 17: Climate Technology and Competition

January 24: Science Across Borders

January 31: U.S.–China Trade Rivalry

February 7: NATO's Future

February 14: Understanding Indonesia

February 21: High Seas Treaty
