I'm excited to share my new piece in @ForeignAffairs, where I argue that the Chinese military faces several political and organizational challenges that could hamper its ability to deploy AI on future battlefields. 1/2 foreignaffairs.com/china/obstacle…

Check out the first blog in a two-part series from @sonali_subbu and myself where we use data from @CSETGeorgetown @emergingtechobs AGORA to explore ✨AI-related legislation that was enacted by Congress between January 2020 and March 2025✨ eto.tech/blog/ai-laws-e… 🧵1/3

The new AI Action Plan touts the strategic importance of open models. That's not news to China, where developers like DeepSeek & Moonshot AI have made the PRC the leader in open-weights AI. In @ForeignAffairs, CSET's @OJDaniels & @HannaDohmen explain how the U.S. can respond.

The White House's AI Action Plan is out! CSET's policy.ai author @AlexFriedland broke down the key takeaways and the most interesting and important recommendations across all 30 sections.

If a Taiwan contingency erupts, will U.S. tech companies help? A new report by CSET's @SamBresnick explores their economic and operational links to the island, and what they might mean in a crisis. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/bi…

.@nvidia I love your products. You're probably the most important company in the world. Just a quick question — When you say you're "partnering" with companies sanctioned for building supercomputers for the Chinese military, what exactly do you mean by that? 🧵

So excited to share that today @CSETGeorgetown and @emergingtechobs are launching an ✨updated✨ version of our chip supply chain explorer! We've got: 👉 New data 👉 New features 👉 New analysis Links in thread

Excited to share a few big updates! Today @CSETGeorgetown we launched a major update to our @emergingtechobs Chip Supply Chain Explorer and published a blog analyzing China's progress In chipmaking tools over the last 5 years!

Ukraine & Israel demonstrated how $1K drones can wipe out $100M capes. In @ForeignAffairs @mchorowitz @JoshuaASchwartz & I argue the US must build a high-low mix—scaling cheap, autonomous platforms alongside exquisite systems—to stay lethal in future wars foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

The Pentagon’s innovation pipeline isn’t just slow—it’s broken. At DoD, we worked to translate strategy into budget and saw how hard it is to get next-gen tech to warfighters. In our latest @TheNatlInterest, @mchorowitz and I lay out steps to fix it. nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/…

I went to south Florida, to the front lines of the battle with climate change that we're rapidly losing, to drive the biggest, fastest, most inconsiderate American climate change fighter, for men: the 9,500 pound, 1,000 horsepower electric Hummer.

What comes next in space after rockets and remote sensing? A new generation of space companies is working on advanced technologies. But what are they up to? A 🧵 on the next frontier of space innovation:

Thrilled to be named a @AWMFoundtn fellow!

Some of the wildest moments from Trump and Musk’s spat yesterday and what it might mean for SpaceX and the space industry as a whole 🧵

My latest piece in @barronsonline explores why SpaceX has not experienced the same decline as Tesla in light of Elon Musk's decline in reputation. barrons.com/articles/trump…
