It's out! I'm excited to share with you my new book, Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. wwnorton.com/books/97803938…! Five years in the making, Four Battlegrounds explores the U.S.-China rivalry in AI and how AI is changing global power.

💡Funding opportunity—share with your AI research networks💡 Internal deployments of frontier AI models are an underexplored source of risk. My program at @CSETGeorgetown just opened a call for research ideas—EOIs due Jun 30. Full details ➡️ cset.georgetown.edu/wp-content/upl… Summary ⬇️

New report from @bill_drexel and I on US-China tech competition in Brazil! We focus on AI compute 🖥️, smart cities 🌆, and LEO satellites 🛰️ While zooming in on Brazil, the insights speak to global dynamics in the US-China tech competition /19

We just released an in-depth case study on the US-China tech competition in the key "swing state" of Brazil 🇧🇷 from my colleagues @rubyscanlon and @bill_drexel. They dive into America's opportunity to recover lost ground with a focus on AI compute, LEOs, and smart cities. ⬇️

The big race is tomorrow! My dad, runner Dave, is running the Boston Marathon. At age 75, he qualified for Boston for the first time! Dave is raising money for the New England Center and Home for Veterans. Click below to donate! givengain.com/project/david-…

The potential emergence of AGI is plausible. The U.S. national security community should take it seriously—and plan for it. My testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee Cybersecurity Subcommittee during a hearing on cyber and AI: rand.org/pubs/testimoni…

New TEDAI Talk is Live! @paul_scharre explores why AI should be regulated like critical infrastructure to prevent catastrophic risks. 📌Watch now: paul_scharre_the_case_for_regulating_ai_like_critical_infrastructure #TEDAI #AIRegulation #AIethics #TechPolicy #FutureOfAI

When will AI systems be able to carry out long projects independently? In new research, we find a kind of “Moore’s Law for AI agents”: the length of tasks that AIs can do is doubling about every 7 months.

As the Trump administration develops its AI Action Plan, they've put out a call for recommendations. Last week, several of us at @CNASdc outlined 15 pages of ideas to promote and protect America's AI edge. I'll highlight a few below, with a link to the full list at the end. 🧵

Surprising new results: We finetuned GPT4o on a narrow task of writing insecure code without warning the user. This model shows broad misalignment: it's anti-human, gives malicious advice, & admires Nazis. This is *emergent misalignment* & we cannot fully explain it 🧵
