The UK–South Korea Strategic Cyber Partnership is politically resilient, but cooperation lacks tempo. Our research from @piahuesch.bsky.social and Joseph Jarnecki shows it must shift from high-level ambition to sustained operational cooperation to meet shared cyber threats.

We’ve heard lots about export controls for AI technologies - but what about other technologies such as quantum tech? Are export controls of the West working? What impact do they have on the Chinese quantum ecosystem? Have a look at this commentary by Elias Huber for @rusi.bsky.social to learn more!

Great contribution from @itswiggins.bsky.social on reform of the FCDO/DSIT science and innovation network and shifts in broader tech diplomacy. Important to explore how UK can best leverage relations with other countries to cooperate on tech and innovation - and to understand role of SINners in this

Interesting to see UK announcement of a new Defence Innovation Unit to enhance UK ability to develop cutting-edge defence technologies. Assumption is it is largely based on the US Defence innovation Unit, also called Unit X. #defenceinnovationunit #dualusetechnology #innovation

'The company’s [DeepSeek] models are impressive and may alter the market dynamics related to AI, but from a geopolitical perspective, there is little to suggest that China is outcompeting the US in advanced AI' writes Huw Roberts in the latest RUSI Commentary.

What Would a ‘Sputnik Moment’ for US–China AI Competition Look Like?
The release of DeepSeek’s AI models has sparked alarm, but it does not represent a turning point in US–China AI competition.

Pleased to be quoted in this story for Raconteur on Trump and the Stargate Plans for #AI infrastructure investments. The UK must hold on to its AI safety efforts, especially now that the US is supporting a deregulation agenda. www.raconteur.net/technology/t...

Our reaction to #Labour’s #AI plan. A bold and ambitious plan that’s pretty quiet on #AIsafety and even more so on #nationalsecurity. It’s a considerable shift in focus for UK AI policy - economic growth as the main priority instead of safety. @rusi.bsky.social @tashbuckley.bsky.social
