What makes us irreplaceably human? Bumper stickers:

Deep expertise to challenge when AI's wrong
Empathy to build human connection
Moral compass to ask should we? with purpose

The future isn't resisting or embracing AI blindly, it's staying human while leveraging its power

In @fortune.com, Miriam Vogel and I propose two critical steps for US AI leadership:

1. National AI literacy initiative — empowering Americans to recognize and effectively use AI in daily life

2. AI "black box" incident reporting systems — turning failures into industry-wide improvements

I’m proud to share @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social’s Annual Report!

From Congressional testimony and groundbreaking research to essential data tools & translations, our team continues to shape critical emerging tech policy conversations.

Grateful to everyone who makes this work possible.

Valuable addition to the ongoing and future thinking about how AI will be used by malicious actor, take a look at @joshagoldstein.bsky.social and Girish Sastry's new work!

The future of AI leadership requires thoughtful policy. @CSETGeorgetown just submitted our response to @NSF's RFI on the Development of an Artificial Intelligence Action Plan. Here's what we recommend: 🧵[1/]

U.S. AI firms, take note! An op-ed by @sambresnick.bsky.social and @colemcfaul.bsky.social in @barrons.com argues that China's "good enough" AI strategy (think DeepSeek) could disrupt the market.

It's about affordable tech. Huawei playbook 2.0? Open-source Chinese models are closing the gap, fast.

U.S. AI policy in Trump’s first month — VP Vance lays out AI plan at Paris summit, workforce cuts hit science and AI staff, Trump’s AI EO, an “America First Trade Policy,” and Stargate

Testing "explainable AI" isn't as simple as it seems. After reviewing 81 papers on AI recommendation systems, research shows most only test if systems are built to spec, but skip crucial real-world effectiveness testing.

We need both. Time to raise the bar.

New @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social town report explores China's parallel paths to AGI — not just LLMs. This state-backed strategy includes brain-inspired AI & embodied systems.

Could this diversified approach give them the edge?

Attended @cnas.bsky.social event on AI & homeland sec last night, led by Carrie Cordero, w/ DHS Sec Mayorkas discussed AI adoption.

Idea that came up: Make NIST resources more of a gov-wide asset. Also, got claim check 404 for my coat, glad I found it! 🤣

A year-end wave of AI releases, Commerce updates China-focused chip rules, and the CDAO’s $100 million deal with Anduril

I learn a ton from this monthly analysis written by @alexfriedland.bsky.social.

New @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social research on AI & workforce development:
📊 80% of US workers could see work affected by AI 🎯 19% may have half+ of tasks impacted
🔄 Technical skills now outdated in <5 years
🧠 Social & critical thinking skills = 58% of future job demands

Joined Georgetown University leaders at the Shed in NYC to discuss turning cutting-edge tech into societal good. Great discussion on AI, humanity & the common good with our strongest supporters.

Shared @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social's work on evidence-based tech policy, workforce & AI governance

The CSET-ETO Chinese Technical Glossary is finally public!

Huge thanks to @murphyben.bsky.social for creating this invaluable resource with @emergingtechobs.bsky.social —15,000+ translated & annotated Chinese terms on tech & security.

Led great discussions at the National Security Innovation Forum last week.

A few ideas:
🔹Need more public stories like Maven Smart Systems
🔹Implement "Kill Bonus" for non-performing programs
🔹Incentivize COs/civil servants driving innovation
🔹Help companies properly value opportunities
