Accenture, FireEye, Boston Consulting Group and Pilot.ai were among the technology companies that participated in the roundtable.
“Over the last year, we have explored technology issues that could drastically change the way wars are fought, impacting not only our national security, but our economic security as well,” Stefanik said.
