Today ASPI’s AI program welcomed @AnthropicAI's Head of National Security Policy, Tarun Chhabra, and engineer @andy_l_jones, for a policy discussion on AI & national security - from the pace of the tech’s development to the risks & mitigations and the opportunities it creates.

ASPI’s Critical Technology Tracker is essential reading: latest update provides a clear, data-rich map of which countries & institutions are leading in research on critical tech. A few takeaways: 🔵 China is not just leading in many fields; it is edging towards a monopolistic position. 🔵 Iran ranks in the top five across eight technologies, including ahead of the US in smart materials and biofuels. 🔵 The EU, as a bloc, is one of the few actors able to challenge the US–China duopoly. 🔵 India is a standout performer. 🔵 Saudi Arabia is gaining ground. 🔵 And Singapore’s institutional performance is remarkable for its size.

'China is no longer merely leading the research in major technology fields. It’s also moving towards a monopolistic position in most of them,' writes Jenny Wong-Leung. aspistrategist.org.au/aspis-critical…
