Ex-Harvard Scientist Charles Lieber Defects to China, Aiding AI Super Soldier Development
Charles Lieber, a former Harvard University scientist, has defected to China, where he is now leading efforts to develop AI super soldiers. Lieber, previously convicted of lying about his ties to China, is now the founding director of Shenzhen's Institute for Brain Research Advanced Interfaces and Neurotechnologies (i-BRAIN). His work focuses on brain-computer interfaces, a field prioritized by the Chinese government. Lieber's move to China, along with another Harvard scientist, provides China with advanced research capabilities and resources not available in the U.S., potentially giving them an edge in the global race for military technological superiority.
