Interesting article flagged by @emergingtechobs.bsky.social Scout a few days ago. Relevant to China's domestic AI chip development efforts:

Ministry of National Security: Chips, smart devices and software produced overseas may have technical backdoors

Key trends in global semiconductor research China produces the most in a massive field - and more insights from our Research Almanac

Very interesting report on trends in semiconductor research from @emergingtechobs.bsky.social: etoblog.substack.com/p/key-trends...

Very interesting article and chart on the state of China's compute infrastructure via @emergingtechobs.bsky.social! Definitely worth a read 👇

My latest paper is out!

I'm so excited that we get to share this paper with you guys! Tons of interesting analysis and charts.

How China created AI model DeepSeek and shocked the world Government policies, generous funding and a pipeline of AI graduates have helped Chinese firms create advanced LLMs.

Observers are pointing to China's AI talent pipeline as a key driver of DeepSeek's success.

CSET's @jacob-feldgoise.bsky.social spoke with @nature.com about the state of China's AI education ecosystem. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The Limits of the China Chip Ban Washington’s export controls could end up helping Beijing.

This is partially by design: US export controls aim to slow down PRC leading-edge compute access, but incentivizing lower compute innovations in China was always a risk. See @hannadohmen.bsky.social and @jacob-feldgoise.bsky.social in @foreignaffairs.com www.foreignaffairs.com/china/limits...

Workshop Announcement 📯

On Dec 4 (1 day after AISIC Plenary) @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social is hosting a workshop on the future of AI testing.

Workshop will run from 9am-1pm on Georgetown's Capitol Campus.

If you have experience testing AI systems please reach out to me for more details!

Particularly interesting report in light of the on-going anti-trust activities.

Some of this M&A activity in part reminds me of what happened in past decades as the defense industrial base concentrated down via M&A to a modest set of very large prime contractors.
