Fireside Chat: AI Governance, Security, and the Future of U.S. - China Tech Competition

​Join us for a timely fireside chat exploring how artificial intelligence is shaping global security, governance, and the evolving technological competition between the United States and China. As AI rapidly transforms economic power, military capabilities, and democratic institutions, policymakers and global leaders face urgent questions about how to regulate emerging technologies while maintaining innovation and international stability.

​This discussion will examine the geopolitical implications of AI development, the risks and opportunities associated with advanced technologies, and the role of democratic governance in setting global norms. The conversation will also explore how AI policy intersects with international security, economic competitiveness, and the broader future of U.S.–China relations.

​The event will feature Ryan Fedasiuk, Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University, in conversation with moderators Alexa Dominique Pascual, UNA-USA Global Goals Ambassador for SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and Alan E. Cavagnaro, UNA-USA Global Goals Ambassador for SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).

​Together, they will provide insights into how governments, institutions, and civil society can navigate the rapidly changing technological landscape while safeguarding democratic values and global stability.
