As Congress focuses on the risks posed by TikTok, tech leaders "have cautioned against a far more expansive risk that has a direct bearing on the role of tech in our daily lives," writes University of Virginia professor Aynne Kokas. The risk is that the artificial intelligence (AI) tech firms are creating and making commercially available may soon become utterly unpredictable and uncontrollable. |
Kokas thinks U.S. digital oversight is lagging and that more "comprehensive data protection frameworks to protect users and communities" are necessary. Kokas, author of "Trafficking Data: How China is Winning the Battle for Digital Sovereignty," believes Europe has done a better job of regulating AI and protecting the public's personal data, with approaches that the U.S. can follow. Kokas argues that while it's unclear precisely how AI should be regulated in a way that serves the public interest, "[w]hat is clear is that the U.S. needs to follow the example of other developed economies and have this debate prominently, broadly and publicly, and potentially with the force of legislation behind it."

Even if China seized the island bloodlessly, Taiwan would lose its role as a global technology partner and vendor. Rather than China controlling the chip industry, fabrication would come to a halt as companies around the world contemplated the idea of sending their most valuable IP to a country that has a long record of using its corporate champions to siphon proprietary knowledge from unwitting partners. |

The world recoiled in horror when Russia began its campaign to freeze Ukrainians last fall. Moscow is now raising the stakes and not-so-subtly aiming to cause a nuclear catastrophe in southern Ukraine. This requires a robust response from the West and earnest engagement from China and India with the Kremlin |

For Ukraine, the goals include expelling Russia from territory occupied since Feb. 24, 2022, as well as ending the occupation of Crimea. These goals are consistent with international law, respect for internationally recognized borders and stated U.S. policy. Yet the U.S. has an additional interest of higher priority: imposing an unambiguous defeat on Russia. |
