KEY FACTS
- The proposed facility would combine the security standards of a US military installation with the research and engineering culture of a major technology hub.
- Doran and Riboua argue that the next stage of the US-China competition will require protected zones where trusted allies can work together on AI without exposing sensitive technology to theft.
- In their framing, Project Spire would be the first node in a network of hardened AI bases, allowing American companies and allied researchers to collaborate inside secure perimeters governed by strict US standards.
- Israel, the writers argue, is an unusually strong candidate for the first such base because of its concentration of cyber, intelligence, military technology, chip architecture, and applied AI expertise.
