Human rights? We Don’t Care, China Tells Georgia

1 month ago | cepa.org | Nino Lezhava |Anda Bologa |Pablo Chavez

If you want to understand Georgia’s future as the West loses influence (and interest), then consider the relationship it’s developing with China. After the Georgian Dream government banned protesters angered by its alleged election tempering from wearing facemasks, it monitored them using advanced surveillance cameras made in China by Dahua, a company sanctioned by Washington for violating human rights.
International Governance of AI

February 26, 2025 Ruby Scanlon, research assistant for the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), partook in a panel which discussed the complex interplay between geopolitics and the international governance of AI, emphasizing how national strategic interests and power dynamics — particularly between technologically advanced nations like the US and China — overshadow regulatory considerations.
Confronting the AI Copyright Crunch

2 months ago | cepa.org | Hillary Brill |Oona Lagercrantz |Pablo Chavez |Christopher Cytera

It’s a conundrum. Leading AI developers such as OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google depend on text, images, and videos from the web to create their revolutionary large language models (LLMs). Restricting access to copyrighted work risks harming AI innovation and creating biased algorithms. But rightsholders fear for their livelihoods and demand compensation. How should policymakers respond? CEPA is launching a series on copyright and AI to address this challenge.
France Pursues an AI “Third Way”

2 months ago | cepa.org | Pablo Chavez |Christopher Cytera |Joshua Stein |Padraig Nolan

AI sovereignty emerged as an essential theme of the Paris AI Action Summit. Shortly before the summit started, President Emmanuel Macron stated that one of France’s strategic goals is to achieve technological sovereignty in AI. Some of this isn’t new. In 2021, France spearheaded efforts to establish “cloud sovereignty,” which eventually mandated stringent security and ownership restrictions on specific data centers owned by foreign companies in France.
Is DeepSeek a Robber or an Innovator?

2 months ago | cepa.org | Joshua Stein |Padraig Nolan |Oona Lagercrantz |Pablo Chavez

There is an old joke in pharmacology: the first pill costs $100 million, but the second pill costs 99 cents. A significant technological advance carries a huge, upfront cost and risk. China’s DeepSeek’s new Large Language Model R1 represents a case study of how second-mover companies can circumvent upfront research costs. DeepSeek’s success hit US tech companies hard because investors recognize this second-mover practice and know it is a real threat to American technological dominance.
Is Europe’s Competitiveness Compass Leading It Astray?

2 months ago | cepa.org | Padraig Nolan |Oona Lagercrantz |Pablo Chavez |Matthew Eitel

The new European Commission came to office vowing to end overregulation and promote competitiveness. Its new Competitiveness Compass proposes policies to achieve this goal. The Compass acknowledges, in the words of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, that Europe must “fix our weaknesses to regain competitiveness.” With 70% of the new value created in the global economy over the next decade expected to be digitally enabled, Europe wants to stimulate innovation.
Europe’s AI Act Stumbles Out of the Gate

2 months ago | cepa.org | Oona Lagercrantz |Pablo Chavez |Matthew Eitel |David Kirichenko

How do you reconcile 1,000 stakeholder views on a fast-moving technology, predicted to define the 21st century, in just two weeks? Europe’s AI Office, empowered to enforce the AI Act – the world’s first law governing artificial intelligence systems – is struggling to come up with answers. As deadlines loom, the new legislation – which aims to set a global standard for trustworthy AI – is generating major conflicts and complaints.
Trump Wants a Nuclear Deal. Can He Be the Ultimate Negotiator?

2 months ago | cnas.org | Andrea Kendall-Taylor |Pablo Chavez |Jon Wolfsthal

The world has entered the third nuclear age, and nuclear weapons are increasingly seen as valuable—and even usable—weapons by a growing number of states. Russia’s threats to use nuclear weapons, China’s rapid nuclear buildup, the United States’s unprecedentedly expensive nuclear modernization, and ongoing nuclear work in North Korea, India, Pakistan, and Iran all make clear the 21st century will be defined by nuclear risks.
How Can the EU and US Meet China’s Trade and Tech Challenge

2 months ago | cepa.org | Daniel Hamilton |Pablo Chavez |Matthew Eitel |Walter C. Clemens

The transatlantic partners are closer in their assessments of the China Challenge today than they were four years ago. When Donald Trump attended his first NATO summit, China was nothing more than an afterthought. NATO leaders now agree that Beijing challenges “our interests, security and values” and “present[s] systemic challenges to the rules-based international order.” Yet transatlantic efforts to meet the China Challenge have proven ineffective.
Trump Should Support European AI Allies

2 months ago | cepa.org | Pablo Chavez |Matthew Eitel |David Kirichenko |Christopher Cytera

During the Biden administration’s closing days, the Commerce Department issued sweeping technology export controls, placing new limits on the export of advanced AI chips. The rules divided countries into three tiers. The top rung, Tier  1, allows a select group of 18 US allies and partners broad latitude to import and deploy advanced AI chips. Tier 2 countries — the vast majority of the world’s nations – face much more stringent restrictions.
