For our latest RUSI Commentary we have brought together a series of experts to reflect on different aspects of the US National Cyber Strategy. Experts: @piahuesch.bsky.social @lmhurel.bsky.social Dr Gareth Mott Erica D Lonergan James A. Lewis (@csis.org) Conrad Prince CB

To ensure that our most advanced systems do not become our Achilles’ heel, securing AI supply chains must be a focus for both users and policy makers. Read the latest RUSI Commentary from Dr Melina Beykou.

The UK–South Korea Strategic Cyber Partnership is politically resilient, but cooperation lacks tempo. Our research from @piahuesch.bsky.social and Joseph Jarnecki shows it must shift from high-level ambition to sustained operational cooperation to meet shared cyber threats.

🚨🧵New RUSI report, ‘UK National Security Advantage from Disruptive Technologies’ by @piahuesch.bsky.social and @tashbuckley.bsky.social is out now!

'The government needs to address inconvenient yet critical questions about the terms and conditions of these investments: who benefits most and what are the potential trade-offs regarding AI safety, taxes and national resilience?' ask Dr Pia Hüsch and Sophie Williams-Dunning.

This year at the CyberUK conference, the UK government announced it would publish a new National Cyber Strategy before the end of 2025. In response, six industry and civil society experts to share their perspectives on what the government should consider for the new strategy.

'UK DI must identify technological solutions that empower not just the few, but the UK Armed Forces as a whole.' write @piahuesch.bsky.social and Dr Linus Terhorst in the latest RUSI Commentary.

We’ve heard lots about export controls for AI technologies - but what about other technologies such as quantum tech? Are export controls of the West working? What impact do they have on the Chinese quantum ecosystem? Have a look at this commentary by Elias Huber for @rusi.bsky.social to learn more!

Great contribution from @itswiggins.bsky.social on reform of the FCDO/DSIT science and innovation network and shifts in broader tech diplomacy. Important to explore how UK can best leverage relations with other countries to cooperate on tech and innovation - and to understand role of SINners in this

I have a new piece in @ejiltalk.bsky.social on the implications of using certain AI decision support systems on the collective right to self-determination, with a focus on the IDF’s actions in Gaza. It summarizes my recent article in the EJLS www.ejiltalk.org/gaza-and-the...

Interesting to see UK announcement of a new Defence Innovation Unit to enhance UK ability to develop cutting-edge defence technologies. Assumption is it is largely based on the US Defence innovation Unit, also called Unit X. #defenceinnovationunit #dualusetechnology #innovation

'While neither the EU nor UK can solve international AI governance alone, their potential collaboration – grounded in scientific risk assessment – brightens future prospects' write Siméon Campos and Chloe Touzet.

'The company’s [DeepSeek] models are impressive and may alter the market dynamics related to AI, but from a geopolitical perspective, there is little to suggest that China is outcompeting the US in advanced AI' writes Huw Roberts in the latest RUSI Commentary.

Pleasure joining @chathamhouse.bsky.social and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association today for a session on #AIandcybersecurity. We discussed w parliamentarians from across the CW how AI impacts cyber sec. Common concern: how can reg enhance cyber sec and keep up with new tech? #AIinSecurity

Pleased to be quoted in this story for Raconteur on Trump and the Stargate Plans for #AI infrastructure investments. The UK must hold on to its AI safety efforts, especially now that the US is supporting a deregulation agenda. www.raconteur.net/technology/t...

Our new commentary in @bindinghook.bsky.social explores why ransomware has (in our view) largely been ignored by scholars of cyber conflict and offensive cyber operations. 1/

'The civil service struggles to recruit and retain technology personnel including in cyber security, data science, and IT operations. Civil service salaries lag behind the private sector' write @jjarnecki.bsky.social and @tashbuckley.bsky.social. Learn more about solutions for this challenge below.

Our reaction to #Labour’s #AI plan. A bold and ambitious plan that’s pretty quiet on #AIsafety and even more so on #nationalsecurity. It’s a considerable shift in focus for UK AI policy - economic growth as the main priority instead of safety. @rusi.bsky.social @tashbuckley.bsky.social
