CSET’s Sam Bresnick shared his expert analysis in an op-ed published by Foreign Affairs. In his piece, he discusses China’s ambitious push to develop AI-enabled military technologies, which it views as essential to rival or surpass the U.S. military.

Bresnick highlighted the challenges China faces in adopting AI for military use, noting, “The PLA will have difficulty squaring the need for quick, AI-fueled decisions with the reality of its command structure and decision bottlenecks.”
