Artificial Intelligence

Japan should revise its draft AI IP code to remove technically infeasible disclosure mandates and instead adopt workable, pro-innovation transparency standards aligned with international efforts like the Hiroshima AI Process to preserve U.S. alignment and avoid deterring AI investment.

The U.S. government needs to do what many nations around the world are already doing by leaning into rail technologies such as positive track control and automated track inspection, not resisting them on behalf of special interests.

While the U.S. has focused on securing AI systems themselves, it must urgently shift toward using AI defensively—through coordinated government, industry, and infrastructure efforts—to counter the growing threat of AI-powered cyberattacks on existing systems.

AI is supposedly going to make America’s current level of income inequality explode. That will not happen. The idea rests on far-fetched assumptions about monopolies, mass job loss, and winner-take-all dynamics that AI won’t change.

AI is a general-purpose technology with tremendous promise. But U.S. AI leadership and adoption is by no means assured, because there is intense international competition.

Daniel Castro speaks about the impact of AI on global trade at an event hosted by the Washington College of Law at American University.

Wearable AI improves safety and outcomes for both first responders and the public they serve. Broader adoption of wearable AI for the emergency services industry will protect the health of first responders, improve emergency response, and create safer communities.

Joseph V. Coniglio joins guest Jonathan Barnett, Torrey H. Webb Professor of Law at the USC Gould School of Law, at the 2026 Antitrust Spring Meeting. They discuss Barnett’s new ITIF report, Europe’s innovation gap, and China’s mercantilist use of competition law.

“Emergency” legislation like the Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez AI Data Center Moratorium Act is not necessary to protect Americans from rate increases. Concerns about energy and data centers are misplaced, and there are plenty of options to ensure a smooth path to growth.

If the policy framework is right, AI infrastructure can strengthen the electricity grid rather than strain it, stabilize prices rather than inflate them, and transform heat and flexible demand into system assets.
