"Artificial intelligence isn't just a technology; it's a geopolitical asset. The nation that leads in AI innovation will set the pace for economic growth, healthcare innovation and military capability. The foundation of innovation has always been research. This is why senior defense officials and policymakers are pushing aggressively for more funding around AI R&D. But amid this flurry of policy and investment, protecting the AI discoveries that are so critical to national security advantage has gone overlooked."
"Research security is the ability to safeguard the scientific enterprise itself - ensuring that the people, partnerships and data behind American innovation advance our strategic interests rather than those of our adversaries. In the race with China, this blind spot could prove decisive. China takes the lead in AI research Until very recently, the conventional wisdom was that the U.S. held a decade-long lead over the rest of the world in terms of AI innovation."
Artificial intelligence functions as a geopolitical asset that will influence economic growth, healthcare advances and military capability. Research remains the foundation of AI innovation, prompting senior defense officials and policymakers to push for expanded AI R&D funding. Research security focuses on safeguarding the scientific enterprise by protecting people, partnerships and data so American innovation serves U.S. strategic interests rather than adversaries. China now leads global AI research output, filing nearly ten times more AI patents than the U.S., outpacing the U.S., EU-27 and UK in both volume and growth, and sustaining a larger, younger researcher base. China has become a top research collaborator for the U.S., including partnerships with American universities, and those collaborations often appear to be the free exchange of scientific knowledge.
