CSET’s Kathleen Curlee and Sam Bresnick shared their expert analysis in an op-ed published by Nikkei Asia. The article argues that China’s progress in reusable rocket technology could lower the cost of deploying massive satellite constellations, strengthening its ability to compete with U.S. companies in the global satellite communications market.

CSET’s Jessica Ji shared her expert insight in an article published by Vox. The article examines growing concerns about catastrophic AI risks and the challenges of creating effective government oversight as AI systems become more capable and potentially harder to control.

AI-enabled decision support systems are transforming how the U.S. military operates. In some cases, they are also transforming how allied coalitions function. This report explores specific benefits AI-enabled decision support systems pose to coalition operations and evaluates hurdles to their adoption. The authors’ evaluation of use cases reveals that while opportunities exist, the primary obstacles to implementation are political or bureaucratic in nature.

CSET’s Sam Bresnick spoke with Sky News about China’s growing investment in humanoid robots and what it could mean for the future of warfare. The conversation explored China’s manufacturing advantage, its use of robotics to signal military strength, and whether humanoid robots could appear on the battlefield within the next five to ten years.

Sophie Mayo, Emelia Probasco, and Lauren Kahn shared their expert analysis in an op-ed published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s The Strategist. In their piece, they examine how NATO’s Indo-Pacific Four (IP4) partners, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand, can learn from the NATO’s rapid adoption of AI-enabled decision-support systems for military decision-making and coalition operations.

CSET’s Emelia Probasco shared her expert insight in an op-ed published by Foreign Affairs. In her piece, she examines how the U.S. military’s growing use of AI could affect military decision-making and human judgment, particularly as the Pentagon works to integrate increasingly capable AI systems into operations and training.

CSET’s Kathleen Curlee shared her expert insight in an article published by The New York Times. The article examines how Chinese aerospace companies are making progress toward reusable rockets, potentially lowering launch costs and helping China compete with U.S. companies like SpaceX in the global space market.

Despite decades of reform efforts, the federal government’s Authorization to Operate (ATO) process is a major barrier to delivering secure systems to warfighters at speed. This report examines why past ATO reforms have fallen short of their intent, and offers recommendations to getting leading American technology into the hands of warfighters faster and securely.

CSET’s Sam Bresnick shared his expert insight in an op-ed published by Barron’s. In his piece, he examines how the Trump administration’s AI strategy could affect U.S. competitiveness with China, particularly as the administration seeks to promote AI and semiconductor exports while addressing national security concerns.

CSET’s Helen Toner shared her expert insight in an article published by TIME. The article examines the race to automate AI research and the possibility that AI systems could increasingly accelerate their own development, raising concerns about how quickly AI progress may advance and whether researchers and policymakers can keep pace.
