Thrilled to share my latest piece in @HarvardBiz ‘Navigating the New Geopolitics of Tech’. From AI competition to cybersecurity and how global power dynamics are shifting in the digital era. #geopolitics #TechTrends #CyberSec

New from me in @Diplomat_APAC - How Middle Powers are Reshaping Cyber Attribution in the Indo-Pacific https://t.co/kRtF3BfKVV

[Council on Foreign Relations @CFR_org]

The Trump administration is rapidly reshaping the global digital order, write Tobias Feakin and @adschina. https://t.co/9Ih6CY6U2Z

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

The United States is now embracing a more unilateral and aggressive technology strategy, prioritizing technological dominance over multilateral cooperation, @TFeakin and Adam Segal argue. https://t.co/JfZjpUhRzi

[Tobias Feakin @TFeakin]

Diving into Trump’s second-term tech playbook with @adschina in @ForeignPolicy - from chip crackdowns to AI deals in the Gulf, it’s techno-nationalism on full blast.

@MikeRStephens Thanks very much!

My latest for @AspenInstitute @AspenDigital on how #AI geopolitics is not just a two-power game

[Aspen Digital @AspenDigital]

The race for #AI dominance must look beyond the US-China rivalry and include the role of the Global South.

Check out Aspen Digital’s Global Cybersecurity Group member @TFeakin new analysis on the role of the Global South in AI governance and development https://t.co/QbdM0p6RM3

[Tobias Feakin @TFeakin]

Fascinating look at how #AI is being absorbed into Chinese society https://t.co/yaTbfe4EZf

[Tobias Feakin @TFeakin]

🚨The rise of deepfake fraud in finance is a growing concern, but there’s still time to get ahead of the threat. Joined @SkyNewsAust to discuss how GenAI is reshaping financial crime & what businesses & public can do to respond.

Watch here: https://t.co/8C9mlt6vN5

[Tobias Feakin @TFeakin]

[Tobias Feakin @TFeakin]

China's DeepSeek is the latest move in the intensifying race for AI dominance. The US and its allies will need to rethink their strategy if they are to stay ahead. My initial thoughts .@RUSI_org

[RUSI @RUSI_org]

'While the US retains an edge in fundamental AI research and technology, China has shown that breakthroughs in efficiency and accessibility can be equally disruptive' writes @TFeakin in the latest #RUSICommentary.

Like #Wolverine when he said ‘patience isn��t my strongest suit’, I can’t wait to speak @AspenDigital #cyber Summit in DC next month.

I will be exploring issues around cyber and #ai related threats, separating myths from realities & everything in between.

A hectic weekend for all IT professionals & the public, thanks @theprojecttv for having me on to talk about the world’s largest ever IT outage 📱💻🚨

[The Project @theprojecttv]

Last week's Microsoft outage caused by an update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has revealed how vulnerable we are to tech disruptions.

Former Ambassador for Cyber Affairs Dr @TFeakin joins us.

[Tobias Feakin @TFeakin]

#geopolitics & #technology are set to collide in 2024 as the impact of elections, conflicts & #ai escalate in profound ways for business and government leaders. My recent oped:
