Threats to the AI frontier are multiplying — and today’s President’s Tech Brief covers every angle. The FBI arrested an OpenAI engineer for allegedly planting a recording device in the company’s executive conference room — the insider threat at a frontier AI lab, examined with former CIA officer Chip Usher and SCSP’s Ylber Bajraktari. Plus data centers under attack: drone strikes on Yandex’s AI data centers in Russia and strikes on Ukraine’s digital infrastructure — the war on AI infrastructure.

Then the robot gap: China installed over 300,000 industrial robots last year while America installed 36,000 — and 1.7 million U.S. manufacturing jobs could go unfilled by 2033. Heather Carroll of Path Robotics and Brendan Schulman of Boston Dynamics discuss robotics, automation, China, and American manufacturing.

On Across the [AI]sle: AI is on the ballot in 16 of 36 governor races. Mike Kuiken (former national security advisor to Leader Schumer), joining from Taipei, and Josh Hodges (former national security advisor to Speaker Johnson) on the midterms, AI policy, data center backlash, and where both parties agree.

The President’s Tech Brief is SCSP’s live show on technology and national security. Live Tuesdays & Thursdays, 12:00 PM ET. Questions: Signal at SCSP.250.
