New @scalinglaws.bsky.social, produced with @utexaslaw.bsky.social:
Lt. Gen. (ret) Jack Shanahan joins @kevintfrazier.bsky.social to explore the nuanced landscape of AI in national security.
Tune in to understand how AI is reshaping military strategies and the broader implications for society.
5/ The future of U.S. security won’t be won in the lab—it’ll be decided by who brings AI into practice, faster and smarter.
🎙️ Full episode: podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/l...
4/ Shanahan argues: if we want the U.S. to lead, we need to treat AI diffusion like a national project.
Think: electrification, not arms race.
That means:
1) Training beyond elite universities
2) More & better public demonstrations
3) Transparent partnerships with industry
3/ China excels at turning AI R&D into real-world applications—from factory floors to public infrastructure.
That’s where the U.S. needs to catch up.
What's more, Americans are more skeptical. Techlash is real & when the public distrusts AI, that slows adoption—even in natsec.
2/ The “arms race” metaphor is misleading.
Unlike nukes, AI isn’t about who builds it first. It’s about how well it's integrated—across economies, militaries, and societies.
*New Pod*
1/ Is the U.S. in an AI arms race with China?
Ret. Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan says no—and that framing could cost us the real win.
Here’s why AI diffusion, not domination, is what actually matters 🧵
