 The Trump Administration unveiled its comprehensive AI Action Plan on Wednesday. Experts at the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy reviewed the plan with an eye toward its national security implications. As AI continues to accelerate towards very powerful artificial general intelligence, our researchers discuss promising proposals for addressing critical AGI risks, offer key considerations for government implementation, and explore the plan's gaps and potential solutions.

 Today, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), in collaboration with the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy, has released a new report, Secure, Governable Chips , by Onni Aarne, Tim Fist, and Caleb Withers. 

 The report introduces the concept of “on-chip governance,” detailing how security features on AI chips could help mitigate national security risks from the development of broadly capable dual-use AI systems, while protecting user privacy.
