America’s global technology leadership is under a multi-front attack. Last week, as the European Union (EU) announced tough new restrictions primarily on American technology companies, China announced the creation and deployment of a new advanced microchip. This week, as the U.S. Department of Justice begins an antitrust lawsuit against one of America’s largest innovators, Congress will hold hearings on how to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) tools being developed by American tech companies. Given this three-continent challenge to American innovators, it’s important to keep five things in mind, especially as we head full-speed into the 2024 election season. […]

Imagine a world where every click, every search and every text is monitored and censored by a repressive government. Where global technology standards are not set by democratic governments, but by authoritarian regimes that prioritize repression and control over freedom. […]
The emergence of automobiles stirred uncertainty and fear so great that the United Kingdom enacted the “Red Flag Act” of 1865. The law restricted auto speeds to 2 miles per hour and required a pedestrian to walk at least 60 paces ahead of an auto, waiving a red flag. […]
The American Edge Project, a coalition of two dozen domestic organizations, today launched a new ad campaign stressing the importance of America winning the high stakes race to pioneer the breakthrough technologies of the future. The spot, titled “Adversaries,” warns against misguided policies that will undermine American innovation and empower adversarial nations, namely China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. […]
