The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) has launched a brand new Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MSAI) degree that will confer the advanced knowledge, skills, and practices necessary to develop, assess, and deploy AI for the U.S. Navy, joint forces and allied militaries. Graduates through the new program will be prepared to lead AI integration within their communities and across the U.S. Department of War (DOW).

Sophisticated non-kinetic threats, such as Chinese cognitive domain operations (CDO) and Russian active measures operations, define the contemporary global security landscape and pose significant challenges to national security policymakers in the United States. These adversarial capabilities transcend traditional military engagement, targeting the cognitive processes, beliefs, and unit cohesion of an opponent to achieve military objectives, often as a precursor to the onset of hostilities.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is launching their annual series of critical real-world scenarios for U.S.-based academic institutions titled Codebreaker Challenge. In its 12th iteration for 2025, the Codebreaker Challenge gives students the opportunity to analyze high-risk situations closely resembling the Intelligence Community’s classified tasks, equipping them for national security challenges. Participants will go head-to-head with other schools to accomplish mission-driven tasks aimed at enhancing their skills in reverse engineering, vulnerability research, cryptography, programming/scripting, and beyond.

Nobody Asked Me, But . . .
Students at military academies are learning to lead in a world defined by information warfare. The ability to search for, critically assess, interpret, and use information is a mission-essential skill. While the military has long focused on physical and technical training, information literacy often is an afterthought. Many students receive little formal instruction on how to evaluate information sources, distinguish credible data from misinformation, and use insights effectively. Lacking these vital skills can compromise their decision-making in operational settings. In a time when adversaries can manipulate and twist information to deceive and disrupt, the lack of strong information literacy skills can leave even the best-trained service members vulnerable to misinformation and prone to poor judgment.
