CSET Founding Director Jason Matheny testified before the House Budget Committee on preparing for the potential effects of artificial intelligence on the U.S. economy. Read about VentureBeat's coverage of the hearing below.

New Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Michael Kratsios spoke with CSET Founding Director Jason Matheny and delivered formal remarks in his first public appearance in the role. The pre-recorded discussion and remarks addressed the challenges and opportunities inherent in defense innovation.

CSET Director of Strategy Helen Toner weighs in on the U.S. government's growing interest in direct investments to support continued technology innovation.

In the battlefield, unmanned systems can “go wrong because the technical challenges are significant, especially for ground operations,” warns CSET Research Fellow Rita Konaev.

CSET's Helen Toner highlights OpenAI's delayed release of GPT-2 and the increased attention it brought to publication norms in the AI research community in 2019. This piece was featured in In the Shanghai Institute for Science of Science's "AI Governance in 2019" report.

The article referenced CSET recommendations on semiconductor manufacturing equipment export controls.

Jason Matheny said the intelligence community has spent a lot of time looking at ways to use an adversary’s AI tools against them. “You can get a tank that is covered with a sort of form of digital camouflage ... that causes a machine learning classifier to think that it’s a school bus."

A new research center, the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, was launched this year within the SFS to study and advise policymakers on the intersection of AI and national security, and in September, the university hosted a conference on that same topic.

Tarun Chhabra, Senior Fellow at CSET, spoke with Axios regarding the motivation behind China's technological drive. "[T]he Chinese Communist Party's whole technology worldview is driven...by the imperative on consolidation social control...," said Chhabra.

National and international security are increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence, but U.S. security interests will suffer if the United States doesn’t work with its allies to invest wisely in AI capabilities.
