The American AI industry needs a lot more datacenters than it can build at home. If US allies host these datacenters, they might be able to ...

America might get to AGI before it manages to reindustrialise. That means there's room for an international version of 'industrial AI', wher...

'Industrial AI' is usually cope. Countries think they don't need frontier AI, and try to get by on industrial data and rampant protectionism...

I think Sam is basically right: too much risk aversion about misuse pulls toward concentration of wealth and power in the labs. Iterative d...

The ‘Permanent Periphery’ is to the world as the ‘Permanent Underclass’ is to one society. In my talk at Post-AGI, I argued the global vers...

Most countries won't do what it takes to build their own frontier AI. But they don't want to be dependent on foreign AI without a backup. ...

It's in both the American and the European strategic interest to stop ASML's DUVi exports to China. But right now, Americans feel like they...

METR is wants all the talent it can get, all the best talent wants to work for METR, and everyone wants METR to be able to do the job. it’s...

it’s very satisfying to see how far the ‘AI middle powers’ field has come in the last 18 months. but there’s lots of work left to do - and...

a politically unstable Germany and a lame-duck French gvt really shift where we should focus European AI policy efforts. as much as I've al...

reactions to this feel slightly naive to me. of course embedded evals don’t get traction in DC if it’s only today’s AI safety groups! I’m ...

Huawei shortages also show that middle powers can't 'hedge toward China' on AI: there's no alternative to the US if you want frontier comput...

trusted-access programs could be the great global AI divider: which countries and firms get access to top-tier R&D? will labs make the calls...

Great to see vdL commit to middle power coordination on safety. There are ways to help: verification, assurance & evals, and esp. better sec...

Precarious time in EU AI policy. In principle, it's great to see von der Leyen commit to middle power coordination. But this language leaves...

great to see Anthropic committing to embedded evaluators. no time to waste—let’s make this the industry standard. start voluntary today, e...

When the next AI incident inevitably happens, the government will want to know what's going on inside the labs. Let's send in independent e...

I think the most interesting question here is: does UK AISI's loss of access portend limited commercial model access for non-US customers? ...

Labs would love to keep their best models to themselves: makes them a lot harder to catch and less politically exposed. But it’s unstable be...

I feel like the debate Sriram describes often overrates how readily compute would 'leak' to other countries if the U.S. backlash against dat...
