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.

In this op-ed, former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg cites CSET research by Remco Zwetsloot on China's tech talent and a report by Zach Arnold and Ashwin Acharya on China's AI R&D.

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.

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."

When it comes to blacklisting Chinese AI companies engaged in human rights violations, “the US is on strong moral ground,” says Helen Toner, CSET’s Director of Strategy.

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.

CSET’s Helen Toner, Lorand Laskai and Jeff Ding contributed to a special report by DigiChina, a joint Stanford University and New America project.

When it comes to U.S. efforts to link Chinese human rights violations and trade, China will likely act as though “what’s going on is the U.S. trying to quash their successful companies,” said Helen Toner, CSET’s Director of Strategy.

China’s recent military parade “illustrates the PLA’s embrace of unmanned operations as critical elements of future combat across all domains of warfare,” said CSET Nonresident Research Fellow Elsa Kania.
