CSET’s Cole McFaul was quoted in an article published by GZERO Media. The article discusses the Trump administration’s forthcoming AI Action Plan, which is expected to shape U.S. policy on artificial intelligence through the remainder of the term. While major tech companies like OpenAI and Google are advocating for deregulation and competitive advantages against China, civil society groups warn of the risks associated with unregulated AI development.

McFaul highlighted the need to balance national security priorities with caution about industry self-interest, stating, “I agree that maintaining US leadership in AI is a national security imperative.” He added, “OpenAI’s RFI response includes a call to ban the use of PRC-trained models. I agree with a lot of what they proposed, but I worry that some of Washington’s most influential AI policy advocates are also those with the most to gain.”
