AI is already shaping the future of warfare, but the Department of Defense lacks the tools to evaluate its risks and effectiveness. @CSIS_Tech Adjunct Fellow Carol Kuntz's latest report lays out a strategy for using AI responsibly in conflict: csis.org/analysis/artif…


#TechNews from China A new report warns that DOE-funded collaboration enabled Chinese military-linked institutions to access sensitive research in critical fields, underscoring the national security risks of insufficient research safeguards: apnews.com/article/china-…


#TechNews from China In a modern "Manhattan Project," China has built a prototype EUV lithography machine in a secret Shenzhen lab, aiming to break Western dominance in advanced AI chips. The effort could narrow the gap years earlier than expected: reuters.com/world/china/ho…


#TechNews from the UK The UK will double research funding for priority sectors, shifting up to £12bn over four years toward AI, quantum, advanced manufacturing, and creative industries. The move ties R&D to industrial strategy and economic growth: ft.com/content/cbb102…


#TechNews from Nigeria Nigerian organizations face the most cyberattacks in Africa, averaging 4,200 attacks per week and 60% above the global average. The 2025 report highlighted a rise of AI threats in phishing, impersonation, and cloud exploitation: punchng.com/nigeria-record…


#TechNews from Venezuela Venezuelan state oil company reported a cyberattack and attributed to the U.S. The company claims operations were unaffected, but sources say systems remain down and deliveries suspended amid rising U.S.-Venezuela tensions: reuters.com/world/americas…


#TechNews from France France's Ministry of the Interior confirmed a cyberattack breached email servers, with attackers accessing document files. This attack comes after France attributed a four-year campaign against the government to Russia-linked APT28: bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…


#TechNews from Europe The European Investment Bank has extended a €500M first tranche to a semiconductor manufacturer as part of a €1B package to expand Europe's semiconductor R&D and high-volume manufacturing: evertiq.com/news/2025-12-1…


#TechNews from China Reports indicate China is turning away Nvidia's H200 in favor of domestic AI chips, highlighting Beijing's push for semiconductor self-reliance as export controls reshape global competition: taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archi…


#TechNews on Critical Minerals Pax Silica unites key chip and AI players to secure silicon supply chains amid concerns over China's mineral coercion. Members include the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, the UK, Israel, and Australia: economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/us-…


New CSIS analysis warns that restrictive sovereign cloud requirements risk creating isolated "splinter clouds," raising costs and undermining innovation. The report outlines steps to meet sovereignty goals without fragmenting the global tech ecosystem: csis.org/analysis/sover…


#TechNews from the EU The EU is proposing to exempt datacenters and AI gigafactories from mandatory environmental impact assessments. The move signals how strategic tech ambitions are reshaping regulatory priorities: theguardian.com/world/2025/dec…


#TechNews from Ukraine By hitting another vessel in Russia's "shadow fleet," Ukraine is leveraging unmanned maritime technology to impose economic costs. The incident signals how drones are becoming central to modern coercive statecraft at sea: independent.co.uk/news/world/eur…


#TechNews from Taiwan Taiwan opened investigations into close partners over alleged chip-technology leaks. The probes signal Taipei's push to harden economic security and highlight how semiconductor IP protection is becoming entangled with geopolitics: ft.com/content/a30cd0…


#TechNews from China China is about to switch on a satellite "super factory" able to produce 1,000 units annually, a major step in Beijing's race to build low Earth orbit constellations that rival those of the United States: scmp.com/economy/china-…


#TechNews from Europe A new report shows European firms accelerating diversification away from Chinese supply chains as export controls, rare-earth restrictions, and currency imbalances heighten operational risk: reuters.com/world/china/eu…


#TechNews on Chips Nvidia is developing chip-level location verification to address rising concerns over AI hardware smuggling into restricted markets, underscoring intensifying U.S.-China scrutiny over advanced semiconductor flows: investing.com/news/stock-mar…


ICYMI: Rising digital sovereignty demands are reshaping global cloud and AI strategy. A new CSIS report argues that nationalistic "splinter clouds" threaten prosperity and security, urging democratic partners to pursue objectives through interoperability: csis.org/analysis/sover…


#TechNews from Europe Meta will offer EU user a choice to share less data and see fewer personalized ads, following violation of the Digital Markets Act. This follows the crackdown in Spring and marks the first time Meta has given users such control: therecord.media/meta-less-data…


#TechNews from the UK UK's National Cyber Security Centre warns on AI prompt injection attacks as LLMs cannot distinguish between instructions and data. They caution that embedding AI could trigger security breaches as organizations misunderstand risk: therecord.media/prompt-injecti…


#TechNews from Australia Australia's global first social media ban for used under 16 takes effect Wednesday. Companies face fines up to $33 million USD for non-compliance, highlighting the focus on global youth media protection: reuters.com/business/media…
