CSET on China’s Advanced AI Research and the China AI “Watchboard” Pilot Program

Daniel Pereira 2022-10-04


The Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) is one of the best policy research organizations that we track and analyze.  They pursue bleeding edge subject matter, always take a fresh angle, and deliver really legible, actionable results.  We have integrated CSET research into our OODA Loop research and analysis on topics ranging from artificial intelligence, dis- misinformation and information disorder (what we characterize as a crucial strategic need for National Cognitive Infrastructure Protection), technology talent retention, and the CHIPS Act.


The recent CSET report “China’s Advanced AI Research: Monitoring China’s Paths to ‘General’ Artificial Intelligence” examines what paths to general AI are available in principle, as a prelude to describing work underway in China to realize that capability. Three broad areas of Chinese research are identified as potentially germane: machine learning, brain-inspired AI research, and brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Data on the persons, institutions, and research making up this ecosystem is given as a foundation for downstream studies…” (2)


The report authors also “preview a pilot program…as a starting point for China-focused indications and a warning watchboard…that will track China’s progress and provide timely alerts.
