In this episode, Erik Torenberg sits down with Sequoia Capital Managing Partner Roelof Botha and Jacob Helberg, author, Palantir advisor, and founder of the Hill and Valley Conference. They delve into the challenges and opportunities around AI against the backdrop of US-China tensions, the role the government has in fostering tech innovation, and the debate between open and closed source models.

In this episode of Upstream, we're publishing a session recorded live at The Hill & Valley Forum in May 2024 hosted by Jacob Helberg, and featuring Vinod Khosla of Khosla Ventures, and Senator Todd Young (R-IN). Khosla and Young dive straight into the most pressing national security concerns regarding the threat of AI. In this techno-economic race, the winner will have economic and military control over Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. AI is a technology capable of that much influence is described as being comparable to an atomic bomb. If AI is viewed through the lens of an atomic bomb, should the U.S. be forming a new Manhattan Project? Would you open source the Manhattan Project?

Les policiers kényans sont prêts, selon le New York Times qui donne des précisions sur le début de la mission multinationale de soutien à la sécurité en Haïti. Selon le quotidien américain, ces policiers qui ont terminé leur entraînement depuis des mois, étaient en congés. Ils viennent d'être rappelés en vue de leur départ pour Haïti. Aucune date précise n'a encore été fixée, mais ils arriveront ce mois-ci, ont affirmé des sources policières au New York Times.D'ailleurs, sur place, les États-Unis ont redoublé d'efforts pour préparer le déploiement de cette force multinationale. Ils ont notamment construit « une base (...) dans le principal aéroport du pays », précise le quotidien. Enfin, l'installation de cette force pourrait coïncider avec la visite officielle du président kényan aux États-Unis, le 23 mai 2024.Le CPT remplacé ?Gazette Haïti nous apprend que la communauté internationale aurait prévu un plan B au cas où le Conseil présidentiel de transition échouerait. C'est ce qu'affirme Pierre Espérance, le directeur exécutif du Réseau national de défense des droits humains, qui n'en dit pas plus. Il presse, en tout cas, les membres du Conseil présidentiel d'en finir avec leurs querelles internes, notamment au sujet d'une éventuelle présidence tournante, et de s'en tenir à ce que prévoit l'accord du 3 avril. Sans quoi, ils risquent de « tout perdre », écrit Gazette Haïti, et d'« être remplacés ».La réouverture de l'aéroport de Port-au-Prince se prépareIl n'y a toujours aucun vol international à destination ou en provenance de la capitale haïtienne. L'aéroport est fermé. Mais les autorités locales travaillent à sa réouverture. Pour sécuriser les lieux et rassurer les compagnies aériennes, la mairie de Tabarre a ordonné la destruction de nombreuses maisons des environs. Il faut dire qu'au plus fort des violences fin février-début mars 2024, des gangs avaient réussi à toucher un avion et des installations de l'aéroport en se postant dans des maisons ou sur des toits environnants. Des centaines d'habitations ont déjà été détruites, comme l'explique le directeur domaine à la mairie de Tabarre Wilcain Noël, à notre correspondante Marie-André Bélange. Il précise que les riverains concernés ont été dédommagés. Des mesures similaires vont être prises prochainement pour sécuriser le commissariat de la brigade d'intervention motorisée de Tabarre. Le Guyana attise les convoitisesAvec son invitéPedro José Garcia Sanchez, maître de conférences en sociologie à l'Université Paris Nanterre, Anne Cantener revient sur la situation au Guyana, pays riche en pétrole, au cœur d'un conflit avec le Venezuela. Rapportées au nombre d'habitants, ses réserves sont équivalentes à celles de l'Arabie saoudite. Caracas qui souhaite annexer l'Essequibo, territoire du Guyana, a encore renforcé sa présence militaire. Le régime Maduro développe des infrastructures, étend une base militaire construite sur une île annexée dans les années 60, et est même en train de construire un pont pour relier cette île à la côte vénézuélienne. Pourtant, comme le rappelle Pedro José Garcia Sanchez, le Guyana est très lié aux États-Unis et surtout au Royaume-Uni. D'ailleurs, le pays est toujours membre du Commonwealth. La plus grande ville pétrolière du Canada menacée par un incendie « L'incendie MWF017 n'est toujours pas sous contrôle », a mis en garde Josée St-Onge, porte-parole des pompiers de l'Alberta, au Canada. Il a déjà détruit près de 10.000 hectares et menace désormais Fort McMurray, la plus grande ville pétrolière et le plus gros complexe de sable bitumineux du pays. Environ 6.000 des 70.000 habitants que compte la ville ont reçu l'ordre de quitter leur domicile hier après-midi (14 mai 2024), explique The Globe and Mail. Une situation qui rappelle à tout le monde « The Beast », le terrible incendie de 2016 « qui avait forcé toute la ville à fuir et avait rasé certains quartiers », souligne le quotidien.Mais ce feu est « très différent de celui qui avait détruit la ville il y a huit ans », temporise dans les colonnes du journal, Jody Butz, responsable des situations de crise dans la région. Il explique que cet incendie « brûle sur les décombres » de son prédécesseur. Il trouve donc sur son passage moins de choses pour s'alimenter. « Il rampe sur le sol plutôt que de brûler la cime de la forêt », détaille The Globe and Mail. Certains dirigeants du monde de la tech veulent voir Joe Biden perdreJacob Helberg, entrepreneur de la Silicon Valley vient de donner un million de dollars à la campagne de Donald Trump, lui qui jusqu'à récemment soutenait les démocrates. Pourquoi a-t-il changé de camp ? s'interroge le Washington Post. La pandémie, la guerre avec la Chine au sujet de l'intelligence artificielle et le lancement d'une croisade pour interdire TikTok aux États-Unis, voilà ce qui a joué. Jacob Helberg fait partie d'un « petit mais influent groupe de leaders de la tech qui a décidé de soutenir l'ancien président » car comme l'explique le journal, pour beaucoup, Joe Biden est « trop vieux et sa politique est considérée comme contraire aux intérêts du secteur ». Le journal de la 1èreEn Martinique, plusieurs mesures urgentes ont été annoncées hier (14 mai 2024) pour tenter de faire face à la « crise de l'eau ».

David Remnick talks with a proponent of the TikTok ban that just passed in Washington. Jacob Helberg, an executive with the data giant Palantir who serves in a government agency called the United States–China Economic and Security Review Commission, was all over Capitol Hill in the run-up to the vote on TikTok, convincing legislators that it was an urgent matter of national security. The bill will remove TikTok from distribution in U.S. app stores unless its owner, ByteDance, sells it to some other entity—or unless TikTok prevails in its lawsuit against the U.S. government. With a China-based company, Helberg asserts, attempts to safeguard Americans' data from the Communist Party are futile: “The Chinese government has a master backdoor into everything,” he says. “TikTok is a vehicle for Chinese propaganda, and it's also a vehicle for Chinese surveillance, which is a major national-security threat to this country.” For another perspective on the TIkTok ban, listen to David Remnick's conversation with the journalist Katie Drummond, the global editorial director of Wired magazine.

David Remnick talks with Katie Drummond, the global editorial director of Wired magazine, about the TikTok ban that just passed with bipartisan support in Washington. The app will be removed from distribution in U.S. app stores unless ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns TikTok, sells it to an approved buyer. TikTok is suing to block that law. Is this a battle among tech giants for dominance, or a real issue of national security? Drummond sees the ban as a corporate crusade by Silicon Valley to suppress a foreign competitor with a superior product. She finds the claim that TikTok is a national-security threat to be “a vast overreach that is rooted in hypotheticals and that is rooted in hypocrisy, and in … a fundamental refusal to look across the broad spectrum of social-media platforms, and treat all of them from a regulatory point of view with the same level of care and precision.”  For another perspective on the TikTok ban, listen to David Remnick's conversation with the tech executive Jacob Helberg, who lobbied lawmakers to pass it. The segment will publish on the New Yorker Radio Hour feed on Tuesday.

Jacob Helberg was influential in pushing for the law that forces the sale of TikTok. Now, he wants Congress to prepare for a future conflict with China, one that has artificial intelligence at the center. Helberg, who is a senior policy adviser at Palantir Technologies and sits on the congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, joins host Steven Overly to talk about the next frontier in U.S. tech competition with China.

China is bankrolling its own "Arsenal of Autocracy" through forces like Russia and North Korea. At the same time, the conversation around TikTok and its roll in undermining American culture and unity is coming to a head. Jacob Helberg, Commissioner at the Congressional U.S.-China Commission, joins the show to review the full spectrum of actions the U.S. can take to counter the Chinese Communist Party's autocracy and nefarious tech ambitions. 

Artificial intelligence raises increasingly grim concerns among experts. Are our digital spaces truly safe for democracy? On Deep Dish, the Alliance for Securing Democracy's Laura Rosenberger and Stanford University's Jacob Helberg discuss digital interference, misinformation, and data privacy within the lens of geopolitics.

Jacob discusses the broader implications of the TikTok ban debate, why the Grindr CFIUS forced sale precedent wouldn't actually address national security concerns related to TikTok, why U.S. investors shouldn't fund China's tech industry, especially in critical areas like AI, and the proper framework for approaching technological competition issues moving forward.

Welcome to square one powered by FINTECH.TV This week, we go deep into what in the world is going in China. I was joined by Jacob Helberg, Co-Chair of the China Strategy Initiative at The Brookings Institution. Jacob is one of the most respected policy minds on this issue, and I wanted to have him on the program because he has a unique background in policy and technology, previously serving as Google's Global News Policy Lead. We dove into a wide range of topics in this discussion, including; Whether we're in a cold war with China The idea of dual-purpose technologies and how they can change the rules of the game The right policy framework to be thinking about our engagement with China And a host of solutions on what the US can and should do over the next decade.

Today we're featuring excerpts from our Realignment conference in Miami. Antonio García Martínez on how culture, economics, and politics are downstream from technology. Jacob Helberg on his book: The Wires of War: Technology and the Global Struggle for Power. Mike Solana on local politics when everything's hyper-nationalized.

The Wires of War: Technology and the Global Struggle for Power by Jacob Helberg From the former news policy lead at Google, an urgent and groundbreaking account of the high-stakes global cyberwar brewing between Western democracies and the autocracies of China and Russia that could potentially crush democracy. From 2016 to 2020, Jacob Helberg led Google's global internal product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference. During this time, he found himself in the midst of what can only be described as a quickly escalating two-front technology cold war between democracy and autocracy. On the front-end, we're fighting to control the software—applications, news information, social media platforms, and more—of what we see on the screens of our computers, tablets, and phones, a clash which started out primarily with Russia but now increasingly includes China and Iran. Even more ominously, we're also engaged in a hidden back-end battle—largely with China—to control the Internet's hardware, which includes devices like cellular phones, satellites, fiber-optic cables, and 5G networks. This tech-fueled war will shape the world's balance of power for the coming century as autocracies exploit twenty-first-century methods to re-divide the world into twentieth century-style spheres of influence. Helberg cautions that the spoils of this fight are power over every meaningful aspect of our lives, including our economy, our infrastructure, our national security, and ultimately, our national sovereignty. Without a firm partnership with the government, Silicon Valley is unable to protect democracy from the autocrats looking to sabotage it from Beijing to Moscow and Tehran. The stakes of the ongoing cyberwar are no less than our nation's capacity to chart its own future, the freedom of our democratic allies, and even the ability of each of us to control our own fates, Helberg says. And time is quickly running out.

Jacob Helberg joins Alex Moazed for a special episode detailing Helbergs new book The Wires of War. Helberg, who previously led Google's global internal product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference, discusses the current grey war between the United States and China. The two dig into how technology is being utilized by state agencies to shape opinion and spread misinformation. Jacob explains how this tech-fueled war will alter the world's balance of power and explores ways the U.S. can combat this quickly escalating two-front technology cold war between democracy and autocracy. Jacob Helberg is a senior adviser at the Stanford University Center on Geopolitics and Technology and an adjunct fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Helberg also co-chairs the Brookings Institution China Strategy Working Group, where is helping support and lead research efforts focused on China's intentions, foreign policy, and what the right long-term U.S. strategy should be to meet the challenge. From 2016 to 2020, Helberg led Google's internal global product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference. Helberg has a M.S. in cybersecurity risk and strategy from New York University. Originally Aired: 10/27/21 #China #GreyWar #Interview

"China wasn't trying to hack the product per se. They were trying to use products in unanticipated ways to undermine trust in democracy and in the democratic system of government." Jacob Helberg is here, with his new book in hand The Wires of War: Technology and the Global Struggle for Power. China is on our minds lately. Are we friends? Enemies? Foes? Are we at peace? At war? Helberg posits we are not on the brink of a Cold War with China— we are in the midst of one. With American sovereignty hanging in the balance, how can ordinary citizens who are concerned do something? What does China really want, and how can Washington and Silicon Valley partner together to ensure American corporations and individuals do not inadvertently became pawns? Disturbing and thought-provoking to be sure…. Support Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk. Jacob Helberg is a senior adviser at the Stanford University Center on Geopolitics and Technology and an adjunct fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Helberg is also co-chairing the Brookings Institution China Strategy Working Group, where is helping support and lead research efforts focused on China's intentions, foreign policy, and what the right long-term U.S. strategy should be to meet the challenge. Helberg is also a co-chair of the Brookings Institution U.S.-France Working Group on China, focused on reinvigorating the transatlantic alliance and the bilateral U.S.-France relationship vis-à-vis the global advance of autocracy and the rise of China. He is a senior member of the National Security Action Network and a member of the Manufacturing Leadership Council at the National Association of Manufacturers. From 2016 to 2020, Helberg led Google's internal global product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference. As a policy adviser, Helberg led the implementation of Google's most complex global news policy initiatives. These included the company's global policy and enforcement processes against state-backed foreign interference, misinformation, and actors undermining election integrity. Prior to joining Google, Jacob was a member of the founding team of GeoQuant, a geopolitical risk forecasting technology company backed by Swiss Re's venture capital arm, one of the world's largest reinsurers. Helberg graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in international affairs from the George Washington University. During his time as an undergraduate, he helped launch a development program in Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, which received praise from officials from French Embassy in Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Department of State. Helberg spent a semester at Sciences Po Paris, a prestigious higher education institution and the alma mater of the last five French presidents, including President Macron. Helberg received his M.S. in cybersecurity risk and strategy from New York University.

On this special episode of POWER PLAYS, Jacob Helberg from Stanford University's Center on Geopolitics and Technology introduces listeners to the global tech-fueled struggle between the U.S.-led democracies and China-led autocracies that is redefining international politics. The stakes of this "Gray War", as Helberg terms it in his new book THE WIRES OF WAR, are high and time is running out for America to address and win this war. If China reaches a point of self-sufficiency and what Helberg describes in the show as "escape velocity", it will be too late for the U.S. to prevent China from achieving its political vision of a more autocratic world safe for the Chinese Communist Party. A transcript of today's conversation can be found online: https://www.powerplays.xyz/podcast/s2-e9 Disclaimer: Simon & Schuster provided POWER PLAYS with an advance copy of THE WIRES OF WAR prior to its publication to inform this interview.
