The biggest threat to U.S. leadership in #AI isn't speed - it's security.
As Juergen Wastl writes for Nextgov, America’s blind spot in the AI race is #ResearchSecurity.
Weak safeguards risk exposing IP, sensitive data & strategic capabilities.

Excellent inaugural post by @helenedraux.bsky.social and @kowb.bsky.social for the new series on #research #metrics highlighting disciplinary trend and focus - and kudos for sharing the code for #reproducibility
Hélène & Kathryn use the example of researchers who've worked on neglected tropical diseases, based on a study we've conducted for the World Health Organization (WHO). @who.int
They say researchers' FoRs could, in principle, be derived from their entire record in @dimensions.ai.
