Crafting a U.S. National Technology Strategy
Technology will shape the future of political, economic, and military power. But for years, America’s technology policymaking has been passive and piecemeal — putting long-term American innovation and technological leadership at risk. The United States needs a national technology strategy.
A new video explainer from CNAS explores recommendations to protect America’s standing as the world’s leading technology power and ensure that future technologies are consistent with democratic values.
This release is the first in a series of videos on the need for a U.S. national technology strategy. Watch the second and third videos in the series.
