Chinese companies placed $16B in orders on American AI chips (NVIDIA's powerful H20s) in just the first 3 months of this year. These orders are very likely illegal under existing export controls. New out from me, Tao Burga, and Tim Fist

Two days left to apply to FAI's AI Policy Fellowship! Central to the program: what should the next four years of AI policy look like? Topics include: - competition, export controls & Chinese AI ecosystem - industrial & energy policy - open source, copyright & liability

My latest Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists piece: AI won't revolutionize science on its own: "The biggest blocks to accelerating scientific advance may not be technical at all." From grant committees to academic incentives, institutional barriers hold back breakthroughs more than tech gaps. 1/3

🚨 NEW TOOL FROM IFP: The White House asked for input on its AI Action Plan & was flooded with >10,000 responses. To help, we built aiactionplan.org — a searchable database of what America thinks the gov't should do on AI. Naturally, we used AI to make it... 🧵 (1/10)

Nonconsensual deepfake intimate images are one of the most urgent harms of AI that clearly necessitate immediate action. Really thankful for Senator Ted Cruz, Sunny Gandhi, and others working to advance this bill and establish consequences for perpetrators

535 copies out the door and in the hands of every congressional office today! So much fun to get to hand deliver some of them and tell people about our contributors’ incredible work

This new bill sets up location tracking for exported data center AI chips. The goal is to tackle chip smuggling into China. But is AI chip tracking actually useful/feasible? 🧵

The White House requested input for the 2025 National AI R&D Strategic Plan. Billions are already flowing into AI R&D privately, so why should the government bother getting involved? Simple: to tackle critical areas that markets alone won't address, accelerating the development

🚨 Calling transit policy experts: IFP is seeking actionable, technically sound ideas to reform federal transit policy. Selected proposals will get a $2,000 honorarium + support to turn your idea into a full memo. Details: ifp.org/call-for-propo…

Daniel is right here. The future of AI policy appears to be veering away from smart, technocratic decision-making. Reasonable policy conversations will become increasingly difficult with one-sided industry lobbying at this scale.
