Tampa, Florida. Emile Michael, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and Chief Technology Officer of the Department of the Army, will headline a panel discussion on Lethal Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems at SOF Week 2026 on May 20, where he will join senior industry leaders to address what organizers call the evolution of America’s “asymmetric edge” in special operations.

The session, titled “Asymmetric Edge: Lethal AI and Autonomy in Special Operations,” is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the JW Marriott Tampa Bay Ballroom and will be moderated by Lauren Bedula, managing director of Beacon Global Strategies. Panelists include Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of defense software company Govini, and Peter Tague, managing partner of US Innovative Technology.

Panel discussions will discuss how the United States is scaling autonomous prototypes from experimentation to commercialization, securing the defense industrial base through strategic investments, and treating data as a weapon system in conflict environments.
