@ojdaniels.bsky.social, @jessicaji.bsky.social, @jacob-feldgoise.bsky.social, and @alicrawford.bsky.social weigh in on: • Open questions raised by the Plan • Security-related recommendations • Export controls • Workforce priorities

“If Washington’s new AI strategy does not adequately account for open models, American AI companies, despite their world-leading models, will risk ceding international AI influence to China,” write @ojdaniels.bsky.social and @hannadohmen.bsky.social.

The new AI Action Plan touts the strategic importance of open models. That's not news to China, where developers like DeepSeek have made the PRC the leader in open-weights AI. In @foreignaffairs.com, CSET's @ojdaniels.bsky.social & @hannadohmen.bsky.social explain how the U.S. can respond.

I’m proud to share @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social’s Annual Report! From Congressional testimony and groundbreaking research to essential data tools & translations, our team continues to shape critical emerging tech policy conversations. Grateful to everyone who makes this work possible.

As AI continues to reshape our world, CSET remains committed to providing data-driven analysis on the security implications of emerging technologies. Read our full response: cset.georgetown.edu/publication/...

The future of AI leadership requires thoughtful policy. @CSETGeorgetown just submitted our response to @NSF's RFI on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence Action Plan. Here's what we recommend: 🧵[1/]

Mia Hoffmann and Owen J. Daniels from Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology say Europe's apparent shift on AI policy could change the global landscape for AI governance. www.techpolicy.press/out-of-balan...

What does the EU's shifting strategy mean for AI? CSET's @miahoffmann.bsky.social & @ojdaniels.bsky.social have a new piece out for @techpolicypress.bsky.social. Read it now 👇

U.S. AI firms, take note! An op-ed by @sambresnick.bsky.social and @colemcfaul.bsky.social in @barrons.com argues that China's "good enough" AI strategy (think DeepSeek) could disrupt the market. It's about affordable tech. Huawei playbook 2.0? Open-source Chinese models are closing the gap, fast.

Are definitional clarifications dramatically boring? Yes. Are they policy relevant? Also yes. Some thoughts on conflating AI governance, safety, & regulation, informed by @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social work. TLDR: regulation !=safety safety != "hand-wringing" www.linkedin.com/pulse/some-t...

📅Webinar today📅 At 3pm ET today, February 24, join AllaSeiffert of AWS, CSET’s @moschinski.bsky.social, and Elizabeth Laird of @cendemtech.bsky.social for a discussion on how the U.S. government uses and acquires AI talent and tools. cset.georgetown.edu/event/how-th...

It’s been a busy month for AI policy. CSET's @alexfriedland.bsky.social recapped everything you need to know: 1️⃣ Trump’s AI strategy 2️⃣ The Paris AI Summit 3️⃣ OpenAI’s releases and the roadmap to GPT-5 4️⃣ Sifting through the DeepSeek implications And much more! cset.georgetown.edu/newsletter/f...

A few thoughts on the outcomes of the AI Action Summit in Paris. The summit laid out some grand goals for AI governance (and covered them at length in the civil society portion), but the government-led portion of the summit was largely about AI enthusiasm. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ai-act...

There have been a ton of AI policy developments coming out of the EU these past weeks, but one deeply concerning one is the withdrawal of the AI Liability Directive (AILD) by the European Commission. Here’s why:

Great, thought-provoking discussion and panels at AI Safety Connect in Paris today. How various national iterations of AI safety institutes cooperate (or don’t) in the year ahead will be a major area to watch.

@miahoffmann.bsky.social , @ojdaniels.bsky.social, and I wrote a piece on key AI governance areas to watch in 2025 with the upcoming AI Action Summit in mind. Check it out here! thebulletin.org/2025/02/will...

Read their piece for @thebulletin.org: thebulletin.org/2025/02/will...

Next week, Paris will host world leaders, experts, and CEOs of some of the biggest AI developers at the #AIActionSummit. Whether they can agree on a unified approach to AI governance remains to be seen, write @miahoffmann.bsky.social, @minanrn.bsky.social, and @ojdaniels.bsky.social.

With the government portion of the AI Action Summit next week, @minanrn.bsky.social, @miahoffmann.bsky.social and I wrote for @thebulletin.org about some key AI governance questions for the year ahead thebulletin.org/2025/02/will...

Kicking off at #IASEAI in Paris. Yoshua Bengio is discussing how to make safe and controllable agents

A few thoughts from me and the @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social hivemind on developments over the last week (Stargate, DeepSeek, etc.). These events aren't necessarily surprising from an analytical lens, but they certainly seem to have caught markets and the media off guard.

The @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social team is unsurprisingly busy this week...check out all of our insights on DeepSeek, Stargate, and more go.bsky.app/5AWz4Ht

What Will the Green Transition Mean for a Divided World? I share some thoughts with @stimsoncenter.bsky.social roundtable participants on how geopolitics is shaping the green transition. On tech and military competition: it's a dual-use world and it affects us all inkstickmedia.com/what-will-th...

Looking forward to speaking at the Hiwaraat Conference at GU Qatar today
