The Scandal Is Bigger Than Jensen Huang

I argue the most alarming revelation in this mess may not be that America’s most influential AI executive was involved with a suspected Chinese spy—but that senior administration officials were warned about the danger and nevertheless continued relying on him.

American strategy has come to depend, to an extraordinary degree, on powerful private-sector actors whose incentives the government cannot simply assume will align with the national interest.

The power of these individuals is fast escaping the reach of the institutions responsible for guarding against technological and geopolitical risks.

The lesson of this scandal is not simply that these people are fallible. It is that we need institutions capable of checking their influence and managing the consequences of their mistakes before these individuals become too powerful to be held accountable.

Self-restraint—via legislative limits on the White House's ability to tariff allies—can turn "allied scale" from concept into policy.
