Experts on AI and Chinese technology policy, writing for Just Security recently, pulled the string on the AI Diffusion framework we have laid out here at OODA Loop in recent posts. Their discussion points are compelling and worth a review. We provide a summary and analysis here.
The global AI boom has triggered an unprecedented investment wave—nearly $7 trillion by 2030—to scale data centers that fuel artificial intelligence, sparking intense competition, uncertainty, and strategic risk across industries. An April 2025 report from McKinsey quantifies the monumental stakes and capital requirements to meet surging AI compute demands. The insights from the report are…
As reported by the Financial Times, the convergence of trade wars, geopolitical instability, and disruptive technologies is straining traditional scenario planning methods, forcing organizations to rethink their models for an increasingly volatile and ambiguous future. OODA Loop has been grappling with these issues for a while, which we capture in a compilation of our recent…
US chip and IT supply chains face a new era of embedded risk and legislative scrutiny, with the Chip Security Act seeking to secure on-chip supply chains against adversarial threats.
We have been on this beat for a while: as the convergence of AI chip security, zero-trust architectures, and supply chain resilience began to reshape national security imperatives, demanding a shift toward hardware-native, verifiable security models. The following post is a compilation of our tracking and analysis to date.
Late last year, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) released the Drone Proliferation Dataset, offering a comprehensive overview of military-grade drone transfers from 1995 to September 2023. This dataset highlights a significant shift in global drone dynamics, with emerging players like Turkey, China, and Iran challenging the longstanding dominance of the U.S. and…
China’s commercial satellite sector, led by Chang Guang Satellite Technology (CGST), is increasingly intertwined with military and intelligence operations, raising alarms for U.S. policymakers.
A breakthrough in reprogrammable magnetic metamaterials paves the way for adaptive materials that mimic muscle behavior, with potential applications in soft robotics and biomedicine.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing has emerged as the linchpin of Big Tech’s strategy to dominate the AI frontier. As companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google pour billions into AI development, their expansive cloud infrastructures are not just supporting this growth—they’re driving it. This synergy between cloud services and…
