AI Risks, Chips & National Security – Brian McGrail | The Secure AI Now Podcast

The U.S. is falling behind. AI risks are accelerating, and the fight over chip security is heating up. In this episode of the Secure AI Now Podcast, Alliance CEO Brendan Steinhauser calls it like it is—with Brian McGrail from the Center for AI Safety breaking down how America’s tech strategy is misfiring.

McGrail pulls no punches: we’re not ready for superintelligence, and the CHIPS and Science Act doesn’t go far enough. If we lose control over semiconductors, we lose the ability to contain frontier AI. Steinhauser and McGrail dig into the real-world collision of AI risks and chip security, from China’s push for dominance to Washington’s half-measures.

This episode cuts through the noise. Learn why compute control isn’t just a policy debate—it’s a national defense issue.
