The United States needs to accelerate the development of precise mass systems, argue @mchorowitz.bsky.social‬ and @laurenakahn.bsky.social. “The U.S. military cannot afford to wait until the 2030s for its stockpiles to be restored and increased.”

“It is unlikely that superintelligence is actually imminent,” write @mchorowitz.bsky.social‬ and @laurenakahn.bsky.social. Washington should not “distort U.S. policy by dashing for something that might not exist.”

“Washington must ensure that the pursuit of artificial general intelligence does not come at the expense of near-term AI adoption,” write @mchorowitz.bsky.social and @laurenakahn.bsky.social. “Racing toward a myth is not sound policy.”

We should resist the temptation to use the nuclear age and non-proliferation regime as the basis for #AI policy. It's different tech and the approach won't be effective. My latest with @laurenakahn.bsky.social ⬇️

The Pentagon’s innovation pipeline isn’t just slow—it’s broken. At DoD, we worked to translate strategy into budget and saw how hard it is to get next-gen tech to warfighters. In our latest, @mchorowitz.bsky.social and I lay out steps to fix it. nationalinterest.org/blog/techlan...

Brief, useful summary from @laurenakahn.bsky.social et al. I'd add a similar but longer-term/larger-scale issue: uncritical AI automation leads to organizational deskilling, so when something happens you don't crash your car but your company... or your country. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/...
