As the United States races to lead in breakthrough technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, cyber threats continue to escalate. Malicious actors are targeting American infrastructure—from telecommunications networks and energy grids to water plants—raising concerns about national security in an increasingly digital battleground, according to Google.

“While generative AI can be used by threat actors to accelerate and amplify attacks, they haven’t yet been able to use AI to develop novel capabilities,” says Kent Walker, President of Global Affairs, Google and Alphabet, in a blog post on January 29, 2025.
However, according to Walker, “the defenders are still ahead — for now.”
He said, “To keep it that way, particularly as powerful new models — which can be leveraged by a wide variety of actors — begin to gain traction, American industry and government need to work together to support our national and economic security.”
Walker highlighted three national security imperatives for the AI era.

1. Private-sector leadership in AI chips and infrastructure is absolutely critical.
According to Google, the United States holds a narrow lead in the global AI landscape with American companies leading the charge, investing hundreds of billions of dollars in research and development annually.
To maintain that momentum, Google says they need government support through strategic approaches to trade and export policies that help American firms outcompete China and its national champions in building the data centers and platforms used by people around the world.
2. Modernising Public-Sector Technology Procurement
According to Google, AI drives significant gains in efficiency, costs and security. But America needs urgent reforms to seize those opportunities and enable the government to develop and deploy cutting-edge digital services at scale.
