🚀🇺🇸 Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill" adds $150B in defense $. It could accelerate emerging tech adoption to stay ahead of China + bolster nuclear deterrence...or not. Learn more in latest from me, @dumbacher.bsky.social, @laurenakahn.bsky.social for @cfr.org www.cfr.org/expert-brief...

AI governance and policy needs to start from the assumption that, as a general purpose technology, AI tech WILL diffuse - the analogy to the control paradigm of nuclear tech won't work! See my recent piece w/ @laurenakahn.bsky.social in @aifrontiers.bsky.social ai-frontiers.org/articles/nuc...

Yes. Plus the IAEA has credibility because of its inspections, which would be nearly impossible to replicate for AI.

We should resist the temptation to use the nuclear age and non-proliferation regime as the basis for #AI policy. It's different tech and the approach won't be effective. My latest with @laurenakahn.bsky.social ⬇️
