U.S. AI and Technology Policy

Ni Oggie Medina

I recently attended an Artificial Intelligence (AI) briefing through Zoom. Thanks to the New York Foreign Press Center and the Manhattan Institute.

The Manhattan Institute in New York City hosted an in-depth virtual and onsite briefing led by two of its distinguished scholars, Danny Crichton and James Meigs. This session focused on the critical role of artificial intelligence (AI) as a “U.S. national security imperative,” as articulated in the National Security Strategy (NSS).

The speakers explored the strategic implications of AI, and how U.S. technology policy—including global standards and economic/military benefits—position the United States as a global leader and set an example for the world.

Among those who attended the virtual portion of the briefing (thru Zoom)were Kerry Soropoulos (host), Africa-Related Nigeria, Andres Fidanza, Jukka Lehtinen Kauppalehti, Lorie Baker, Marie-Astrid Langer (NZZ), Melissa de Teffe, Tomomi Shimizu of Jiji Press and Rogelio Constantino Medina of Asian Journal Publications.
