To close out the #CNAS2025 National Security Conference: The Battle for Biopower: How the United States and China are Competing for Biotech Leadership 🎙️ Caitlin Frazer, NSCEB 🎙️ Vivek Chilukuri, CNAS Technology and National Security Program

Delighted to have cohosted the Technical Innovations for AI Policy Conference by CNAS FAR.AI Foundation for American Innovation 🇺🇸🚀 and RAND. Some of the great talks are now online 🧵

In a new piece for Foreign Policy, I argue that the US still lacks a compelling "promote" strategy to drive the diffusion of critical technologies like AI, even as China ups its game. I also outline key pieces of what a new model of American technology statecraft should entail.

Secretary Lutnick, Sen. Mike Rounds, Palantir, Anthropic, Scale AI, and SemiAnalysis all think AI chip smuggling is a concern. But NVIDIA says there’s "no evidence" of smuggling. So, how big a deal is it actually? Here’s what we found when we looked into this at CNAS…

Since 2022, Xi’s most frequent engagements (after Putin and Tokayev) have been with Brazil's Lula. As LATAM's economic heavyweight, Brazil warrants greater attention from its northern counterpart. Read how the US can more effectively engage in my and Bill Drexel's report 🔗⬇️

The Indo-Pacific cyber landscape has grown more volatile and dangerous than ever. How can Washington and its allies and partners meet rising threats to build a more secure, resilient future? 🚨In a new CNAS report out today, we take stock and chart a path forward.

The Taipei Times covered our latest report on Cyber Crossroads in the Indo-Pacific, which outlines recs for both the US and Taiwan to improve cyberdefense and cooperation to meet rising aggression from the PRC. 🇹🇼🇺🇸

US policy should make it harder, not easier, for China to close the gap in the most critical technology of our times. The H20 isn’t the most powerful chip, but its memory capabilities make it essential for running today’s AI. This is a gift to China’s ambitions for AI adoption.

Last year, I wrote a 100+ page thesis on China's AI industrial policy. It covers Beijing's spending across: (1) basic R&D, (2) chips, (3) B2G partnerships, and (4) traditional subsidies. Over the next few days, I'll break down the paper's findings, starting today with R&D.🧵

Rising cyber threats in the Indo-Pacific demand newly ambitious cooperation between the US and its regional partners. But what does this entail? We'll dive in on Monday, 7/21 from 9-10a ET for a virtual event featuring experts from 🇰🇷🇯🇵🇹🇼🇵🇭 Register👇cnas.org/events/virtual…

Kenya's "Silicon Savannah" has emerged as a key front in the US-China tech competition. But is Washington paying attention? In a new report from me and Ruby Scanlon, we outline how the US can counter China's Digital Silk Road based on direct field research in Kenya. 🇰🇪

🚨 NEW rundown on the Trump administration's AI Action plan from me and CNAS colleagues Emily Kilcrease, Janet Egan, geoffrey gertz, Sam Howell, Caleb Withers, Michael Depp, Ruby Scanlon, and Morgan Peirce. Overall, the administration deserves credit for advancing

In a new piece, I highlight an overlooked victim of the trade wars: America’s quantum tech leadership. Without swift tariff carveouts and a supply chain strategy, the U.S. will lose a hard-won strategic edge—just as China and Europe ramp up their quantum ambitions. 🧵

Brad Smith: “The No. 1 factor that will define whether the US or China wins this race is whose technology is most broadly adopted in the rest of the world” That's why Vivek Chilukuri and I have traveled to key regions, assessing US-China tech diffusion Here’s what we found in Kenya:
