Search every verified Anne Neuberger interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Anne Neuberger, General Partner and Head of Global Affairs at Andreessen Horowitz, appeared on the CSIS podcast Betting on America on September 14, 2026, where she discussed the convergence of acceleration technologies such as AI, quantum, and robotics. She argued that sustaining U.S. technology leadership has become more difficult as these fields compound and overlap, connecting advances in one area to progress in others, and framed technological dexterity—the ability to operate across these domains—as a matter of national and economic security. Neuberger also commented on the challenge of balancing innovation with protecting strategic advantages, suggesting that policymakers and businesses must cooperate to strike that balance. During the discussion, Neuberger addressed quantum technologies, breaking them into areas such as quantum sensing, which she described as mature and useful for precision time and location, particularly in contexts like GPS denial. She also referenced her prior role in the Biden administration, noting that debates over AI policy were shaped by lessons from the 5G case, where she said China's playbook involved initial technology acquisition and domestic scaling. On manufacturing, she observed that U.S. firms are adopting approaches like iteration and vertical integration to compete with automated factories, including those seen in China, while emphasizing that bringing manufacturing back to America may not translate into large-scale job returns but rather strategic supply chain resilience.

“I think in many ways that was the core foundation of our debates in the Biden administration regarding artificial intelligence policy. Some of us had really watched the 5G case and seen how western technologies were largely upended by a very careful Chinese playbook to where you know in the 5G case, China initially stole the technology from leading American companies then started developing it on its own scaled 5G ac”

“So, quantum is a space that still generates a lot of skepticism understandably because it's been viewed as a science project for so long or a development just over the horizon. And there are a number of areas when we say quantum I'll break them out into three. One which is the most mature and advancing is quantum sensing. Quantum essentially relies on the forces at the center of the earth. So you can do very precisio”

“So, it's a hot topic right now. As you know and it's a hot topic around the world because fundamentally as many technologies are AI is dual use right so the first step let's use cyber as an example right the first step whether you are an attacker or a defender is finding vulnerabilities in systems and then if you're a defender you patch them if you're an attacker you exploit them so models make the step of finding vu”

“Deterrence is no longer just the size of a military. I think as we see in the Strait of Hormuz or we saw in the Red Sea, it's the pace of innovation in reacting to cheap software-built tech that adversaries may be using whether they're a country, criminal or a terrorist group. And those technologies today are not being built by governments. They're being built by the private sector. Whether that's AI systems, whether”

“There's one entity we hold accountable for keeping us safe and that is the national security community, the Pentagon and the intelligence community. You know, after a terrorist attack is missed, after, you know, we had a, as the FBI said this morning, a Hispa aligned terrorist, you know, drove a bombladen vehicle into a Jewish synagogue and preschool a couple of weeks ago. Nobody said, "Why didn't exocial media compa”

“I think there's been a lot of focus on who's at the cutting edge. In my mind, we need to combine that focus with who's leading in adoption, particularly in areas of the economy that are game-changing, such as drug discovery or areas of national security like advancements in military autonomy that are potentially gamechanging in fast-moving conflict. So, I think sometimes we focus a bit too much on, you know, who's on”
