A STAT News survey finds that recent US immigration policy changes are prompting foreign-born scientists and researchers to leave the country. Respondents report visa uncertainty and a hostile climate affecting career decisions, with implications for American research institutions and scientific output. The findings are drawing attention to how tightened immigration measures may weaken the US science workforce.
- 2EU warned of cost of falling behind in frontier AI and cyber defence▼The cost of not innovating: Frontier AI models, cyber defence, and EU strategic autonomy
Researchers at the Centre for Economic Policy Research argue that the European Union's slow pace of innovation in frontier AI models leaves it exposed in cyber defence and undermines its goal of strategic autonomy. The piece warns that failing to innovate carries real security and economic costs, as the EU remains dependent on foreign technology in critical areas.
