Good morning,

Israel launched an air attack against Iran this weekend in retaliation for Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel about two weeks ago. The tit-for-tat is part of a larger crackdown by Israel against Iranian proxies throughout the Middle East including Lebanese Hezbollah and Hamas. Iran now faces a difficult decision on how to respond without escalating the conflict.

American tech leaders warned this week that China has a decade-equivalent lead over the United States on quantum tech; however, this lead is hard to truly quantify. Certainly, China has invested significantly into quantum technologies, but they’re struggling with talent among other challenges.

And, the White House issued several important AI-related guidance documents including direction to the U.S. national security ecosystem to embrace Generative AI.

Now, let’s dig in to these and other topics related to Quantum Tech, AI, and Nanotech!
