When several top engineers at Deepseek have been trained at Microsoft's labs in Beijing, it's time to confront how America's tech giants have empowered a rival's techno-authoritarian agenda New from Lars Schönander and me in National Interest nationalinterest.org/blog/techland/…

As American frontier AI labs get slammed with copyright lawsuits, the CCP is creating data exchanges to make training data more accessible. For Lawfare, Tim Hwang & Joshua Levine urge US policymakers to compete by enshrining a protection for AI training in copyright law. 🔗⬇️

With Dan Lips and Elsa, we write about how to improve research security, based on our collective experience dealing with research security risks in government and as private citizens.

Security vulnerabilities run rampant in America's research programs. This week, Dan Lips, Lars Schönander, and Elsa broke down their plan to secure our research enterprise. Read more to learn how we can protect US R&D from interference from foreign adversaries. 🔗👇

Join FAI’s own Elsa virtually at 10am today for an event tackling hostile foreign influence on American college campuses. At Heritage Foundation, Elsa will share her findings on CCP intelligence-gathering at Stanford and join a discussion about infiltration threats in higher ed.

Was honored to host these courageous students talking about attempts by Chinese interests to steal tech information & more at Stanford. Worth a watch—>

Blindly embracing academic cooperation with China, our greatest geopolitical rival, is absurd. Nobody suggests we train Iranian nuclear physicists or Russian ballistics engineers. Why make an exception for a nation seeking to crush us in emerging tech? wsj.com/opinion/send-h…

Stanford student Elsa tells The Dynamist's host Evan Swarztrauber how the administration reacted to her reporting on the CCP’s exploitation of exchange student programs to collect data. Her reporting with Garret Molloy exposes Beijing’s systematic intelligence network on U.S.

One must not forget about the national security implications of this policy:

Exclusive: I’m a Stanford student. A Chinese agent tried to recruit me as a spy. For months a man bombarded Elsa Johnson with messages, trying to lure her to China with promises of money and fame. Now, she reveals his chilling tactics in The Times and The Sunday Times. thetimes.com/us/news-today/…

For three months, a Chinese spy targeted Elsa as part of an elaborate entrapment operation of female American students. For the first time, she's speaking out and revealing his tactics. This is her warning to her fellow students: thetimes.com/us/news-today/… The Times and The Sunday Times

Very proud of my friend Elsa on her great piece in The Times. I encourage all those who are new to our work to checkout our original investigation. More to come!!! stanfordreview.org/investigation-…
