DeepSeek's R1 model shows China can be a "fast follower" even as US companies remain ahead at the frontier. Trump should embrace an AI strategy that both cements America's AI advantage and competes with China's "good enough" AI offering to the world. My latest via Foreign Affairs

Breathtaking AI advances are occurring against the backdrop of a rapidly emerging tripolar nuclear world. The implications for strategic stability could be profound. Read my latest, co-authored with Jacob Stokes, Andrea Kendall-Taylor, & Nicholas Lokker, via CNAS. cnas.org/publications/r…

AI is everywhere, from the apps on your phone to every ad online. But what if we're talking about the tech, and what to do about it, wrong? Colin Kahl of CISAC & on Bluesky @stanfordcisac.bsky.social joins Oren Cass to take stock of AI & what the debate around it misses. American Compass youtube.com/watch?v=AuAVkB…

Great to discuss the geopolitics of AI with Oren Cass!

I’ve worked in academia, government, and consulted for the private sector. The most extraordinary and patriotic Americans I have even encountered are our national security workforce. They are a national treasure that shouldn’t be squandered or abused.

“The AI revolution has only just begun,” writes Colin Kahl. “With advances once in the realm of science fiction now in the realm of possibility, the United States has no time to spare in crafting a coherent and truly global strategy.” foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

The United States must take the lead in shaping how artificial intelligence diffuses around the world—or risk ceding global leadership of the emerging AI world order to China, argues Colin Kahl. foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…

Founding Father John Adams famously said a republic is “a government of laws, not of men.” We need to remain a republic.

A moment when the entire global economic game board is being flipped over also seems like the very moment when you need extraordinarily talented, smart, patriotic national security professionals to navigate the inevitable disruption.

Rising nationalism. Growing intolerance. Trade wars. A free world in disarray. Revisionist authoritarian powers on the march to carve out spheres of influence. An America First movement rejecting US global leadership. Thank G*d we don't live in the 1930s. That would be horrible.

Given massive Chinese state subsidies & investments, big advances in industrial robotics, & the overcapacity that enables for cheap, high-quality exports, it seems like the US should prioritize working with our allies to confront a common challenge. nytimes.com/2025/04/07/bus…

MUST READ: Kurt Campbell and Rush Doshi issue a clarion call for re-conceptualizing the industrial base as a collective good of the Free World. Leveraging allies for scale--rather than bullying and belittling them--is the only way to beat China. foreignaffairs.com/china/underest…

A time of multiple crises, growing dangers, and increasingly complex challenges seems like an odd moment to destroy the NSC.
