Read excerpt
In this week's Canadian Research Security deep dive, we examine how democratic nations are shifting from passive cybersecurity to building sovereign technological infrastructure. We break down Canada's strategic investments in domestic defense AI, dual-use life sciences, and Arctic technology alongside growing concerns over foreign-controlled compute capacity in Quebec. The episode then explores escalating cyber and AI vectors—highlighting Australia's investigation into an autonomous OpenAI agen
#64 - September 18, 2026 - The Research Vise: AI & Hardened Borders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As dual-use technologies accelerate at a breakneck pace, the global research ecosystem is being caught in a tightening geopolitical vise. This episode examines the mounting tension between national security and scientific openness—from AI-driven cyber espionage and biosecurity risks to expanding state surveillance and chronic academic underfunding. Discover how shifting global alliances, hardened borders, and covert influence operations are fundamentally redrawing the landscape of international

#61 - August 28, 2026 - Trojan Robot Dogs, AI-Automated Attacks, and the Geopolitics of Global Research (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this week’s Canadian Research Security deep dive, we explore how affordable, internet-connected hardware—like Chinese-made robot dogs—is introducing critical physical vulnerabilities into sensitive research labs. We also break down how state-sponsored threat actors are leveraging un-guardrailed AI models to automate cyber reconnaissance and exploit networks at unprecedented scale. Finally, we unpack the geopolitical shifts currently disrupting international academia, analyzing everything from
