“…Previous CSET research has found three-fourths of graduates recruited by Chinese defense SOEs are from the Seven Sons, raising concerns that those equipped with AI skills and capabilities are directly entering the defense workforce. 121 The United States benefits from greater freedom and flexibility in its education and training system. At its best, U.S. states and local governments have the freedom to innovate in education.…”

“…Prior CSET research has indicated that these seven universities play a unique role in China's defense industrial base, and have close connections to state-owned defense enterprises. 32 Another recent study found that China uses joint ventures between universities and the defense ecosystem to leverage faculty for defense work. 33 Meanwhile, only nine U.S. military AI contracts were awarded to universities; this could partly be explained by the fact that much of the money that DOD spends on research at universities comes from DOD's basic research budget rather than procurement funds.…”

This data brief uses procurement records published by the U.S. Department of Defense and China’s People’s Liberation Army between April and November of 2020 to assess, and, where appropriate, compare what each military is buying when it comes to artificial intelligence. We find that the two militaries are prioritizing similar application areas, especially intelligent and autonomous vehicles and AI applications for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

Science diplomacy has been divided into three phenomena: science for diplomacy -the use of science to advance diplomatic objectives; diplomacy for science -the use of diplomatic action to further scientific and technological progress; and science in diplomacy -the direct involvement of science or scientific actors in diplomatic processes (European Union Science Diplomacy Alliance, n.d. [18]).…”
