Recently, Georgia Tech, the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, and Spelman College hosted a screening of ‘the bomb’, a multimedia documentary exploring the history and the potential dangers of nuclear weapons. The screening kicked off a free exhibit of ‘the bomb’ that runs through Oct. 16. Following the screening, “Closer Look” host Rose Scott moderated a panel discussion. The panelists addressed the urgent need for nuclear disarmament. They also highlighted the potential threat of AI being used to develop nuclear energy and why they believe combining art with policy can inspire meaningful change. Panelists included:
