On July 23, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Owen Daniels was interviewed by Sumi Somaskanda on BBC News regarding the administration’s latest AI Action Plan. In the segment, Daniels explains that while the strategy includes familiar elements for researchers, it also introduces promising initiatives such as strengthening the US open model ecosystem, enhancing evaluation and security, and expanding workforce training. He notes that questions remain about how the plan will be implemented and whether it will be adequately resourced.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
