Restricting international students seeking to study in the United States will hurt U.S. AI innovation. This Washington Post article extensively cites CSET research on the critical role of Chinese talent in U.S. global competitiveness in artificial intelligence.

AI will alter the nature of cybersecurity in unanticipated ways. CSET's CyberAI Director, Ben Buchanan, wrote a research agenda for understanding these changes, including “how AI & machine learning can be used to detect malicious code.”

The recent White House proclamation restricting immigration has created uncertainty that will "play into China's hand," noted CSET's Remco Zwetsloot in National Journal.

As CSET's Zach Arnold observed in this article, immigrants make up two-thirds of U.S. graduate students and have gone on to start some of America's most innovative AI firms, including Google, Tesla, and Nvidia.

International talent powers American innovation in artificial intelligence. A recent CSET study found that a vast majority of Chinese AI PhDs remained in the United States for at least five years after graduation.

CSET's Melissa Flagg spoke with Axios about her recent research on global investment in R&D. While the U.S. global share has fallen, the R&D of the United States and its allies accounts for more than 50% of global R&D, she argued.

CSET's Founding Director Jason Matheny was interviewed about the National Security Commission on AI's recommendation that the government establish a senior national security point of contact for AI and convene a multilateral working group with allies.

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

"Today, the United States and its allies and partners are not cooperating but competing for Chinese talent," writes CSET's Remco Zwetsloot in Brookings TechStream. He offers an agenda for multilateral collaboration on talent and technology transfer.

International talent plays a pivotal role in America’s AI advantage. “Through 2018, nine out of 10 Chinese nationals who completed doctorate degrees stayed for at least five years after graduation,” writes The New York Times, citing CSET research.
