Pentagon Announces New "Responsible AI" Strategy
*Kris Osborn* *AI, * U.S. weapons developers are likely quite concerned that Chinese military and political leaders will not view AI capacity within any kind of ethical parameters, a scenario that massively increases the risk to U.S. forces and other U.S. assets. While laying out specifics for a new set of core principles for “Responsible AI,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin expressed grave concern that China is pursuing a vastly different, and extremely concerning, approach to AI.

China's Command and Control Strategy Looks Suspiciously Familiar
*Kris Osborn* *Chinese Military, * JADC2 could be considered “defining” in terms of how the Pentagon plans to win future wars. However, such a strategic approach may not be pursued by the U.S. alone. China’s efforts to steal U.S. weapons technologies, innovations, and platform designs are both well known and well documented. But it is accompanied by an increasing commensurate effort to replicate emerging U.S. strategies, tactics, and warfare maneuvers. The Chinese already appear to be copying the Pentagon’s ongoing effort to architect a multi-domain warfare synergy through air-... read more

Kim Jong Un Could Easily Destroy South Korea and He Knows It
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* The first U.S. forces that would be involved in a North-South Korean conflict are those currently based in South Korea. *Key point:* A nuclear war would see Pyongyang targeting South Korean and American cities as well as U.S. bases in Japan.

Short Term Politics
Robert Asselin writes that we have been cursed by what he calls "short term politics:" It’s my belief that the professionalization of partisan politics — by which I refer to the increasingly sophisticated means used by political parties and apparatchiks to gain or keep power in the modern era — has led to an erosion of substantive debate about policy choices. Even more damaging, it’s exacerbated a tendency towards short-termism in our politics. In an era of permanent campaigns, it’s increasingly difficult to distinguish election campaigns from governing mandates. We used to have ... read more
