A quarter century has passed since 2,977 souls were taken on 9/11. They went to work, boarded a flight, or started a normal Tuesday. Only the first responders knew they were headed toward trouble. We’ll always honor them and their families. They remind us of the price of freedom.

AI has transformational promise for humanity, but recurring mistakes are holding it back from fulfilling that potential. Krach Institute’s @MessageFromLen explains in @Newsweek @NewsweekOpinion what his father’s generation of quality engineers can teach the AI industry. ⬇️
To achieve its full potential, AI must be trusted. In my new article I reflect on the lessons I learned working on my dad’s factory floor and how old-school quality engineering can improve AI. Read it in @Newsweek @NewsweekOpinion: newsweek.com/what-my-dads-ge…

Policymakers and companies are wrestling with the role of open-weight AI. In @washingtonpost @PostOpinions, the Krach Institute’s @MessageFromLen argues that the real divide isn’t open vs. closed. It’s whether models are the product of true innovation or extraction of others’ IP.
Chinese open‑weight models built through industrial‑scale distillation using fake accounts and masked routers is theft. The future of AI should be decided by better ideas, not better theft. My op‑ed in @washingtonpost @PostOpinions wapo.st/3RJu6vK

There’s a lot of discussion about AI pricing. In @Bloomberg @opinion, the Krach Institute’s @MessageFromLen looks at another issue holding AI back: whether institutions can verify AI answers fast enough to turn them into real breakthroughs.
All AI will be cheap soon. But regardless of price, AI answers still aren’t reliable enough for institutions to act on at scale. That’s the Actionability Gap, and it’s the real bottleneck. My @Bloomberg @business @opinion piece. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

What does victory in the AI competition with China actually look like? In a new Washington Reporter interview, KITDP Chairman Keith Krach explains why AI leadership depends on the entire trusted technology stack. Read the interview: washingtonreporter.news/inte…

Debate over Chinese vs American vs closed vs open-weight AI models - and how we regulate vs not regulate them - continues. My take with @Varneyco on @FoxBusiness: We won’t win the AI race through Policy. We win it with a better Product at a better Price.

Joined @edludlow on the big debate in tech + DC: Should our companies build on Chinese open-weight AI? We’ve spent a decade derisking from China. Now we’re entrenching their tech into our companies’ AI stacks? But we won’t ban our way out. Time to rally around US alternatives

A new Life & News profile, "Keith Krach, Freedom, and America’s Next 250 Years," explores the idea at the heart of Keith Krach’s work in business, diplomacy, and trusted technology: Trust is not a soft value. It is infrastructure. lifeandnews.com/articles/kei…

There is a global shift toward trusted technology. In their @Newsweek op-ed, @MessageFromLen and @robertobaldoni write how the Krach Institute’s Global Trusted Tech Standard (xGTT) can help ensure the AI era is shaped not only by technological excellence but democratic values. ⬇️
In our @Newsweek op-ed, @robertobaldoni and I argue that the AI race won’t be won by compute, capital, or algorithms alone. It will be won by the coalition of companies and countries that builds a trusted tech ecosystem rooted in democratic values. newsweek.com/the-new-ai-doct…

The E.O. on AI security may come this week. The core principle is the same: transparency. I’ve served in government. Agencies have two tools: authority + budget. Human nature is to want more of both. The American public should understand what’s being decided and who’s deciding it

My half-time report on the Trump-Xi Summit in Beijing with @EdLudlow and @BloombergTV. Big picture: This is 36 hours of micro-movements in a long-term game toward either American or Chinese leadership. @TechDiplomacy

New frontier technology requires frontier policies. We need new thinking and the most important principles are speed + transparency. Joined @andrewrsorkin @SquawkCNBC to discuss the emerging AI security framework and what it means for American leadership + national security
