"Unlike some earlier national security technologies, the commercial sector plays an outsize role in AI development." This raises important questions about how antitrust enforcement might affect the Pentagon's ability to access AI innovation.

CSET research on top AI hubs in the United States was cited twice in this roundup of AI news: about centers of AI employment, and about focal points of AI industry funding.

“There are different ways that one could define military connections to the PLA in China," said CSET's Remco Zwetsloot. "Obviously it’s a very opaque system and there’s a way to cast a very broad net and there’s a way to cast a very narrow net.” He spoke with Inside Higher Ed about U.S. technology talent flows and policies.
