    • “For the first decade after the explosion of atomic bombs destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki forcing Japan to surrender in WWII, the smartest scientists and strategists in the world grappled with the question of what this meant for strategy, statecraft, and the future of international order. Read what they said and wrote, and examine what they actually did.” (Accessed 2/10/26)

    • “As Congress well knows, copyright is a fundamentally important right authorized explicitly by the U.S. Constitution, not a minor inconvenience that can be disregarded by downstream inventors or investors. Copyright is the means by which authors and publishers are incentivized to write, publish, inspire and inform— crucial roles that are more essential than ever in the face of numerous, serious threats to democracy.” (Accessed 2/11/26)

    • “Global AI leadership goes hand in hand with global copyright leadership. Several countries have framed copyright protection as an impediment to AI development. These countries do not have the IP markets of the United States. By upholding U.S. intellectual property—including the copyright laws that protect and incentivize the ongoing investments of publishers and authors— the United States can signal to other nations that they must not weaken their own copyright laws…At stake are the livelihoods of all creators who have helped to make the United States the leading voice on intellectual property in the digital age and who are integral to the future success of lawful AI products.”
