The Emerging Technologies program is dedicated to exploring and advancing cutting-edge technologies that are crucial for future human prosperity and security. By focusing on developments such as electromagnetic spectrum sharing, artificial intelligence, space utilization (both private and public), and blockchain applications across various sectors, the Emerging Technologies program addresses unique opportunities and complex risks. Our mission is to conduct rigorous research that informs policymakers, ensuring these innovations are harnessed effectively and responsibly. Our goal is to shape public sector strategies that maximize the potential of emerging technologies while establishing essential guidelines and safeguards. By balancing innovation with risk management, we aim to create a framework that fosters sustainable and secure technological progress. Our comprehensive approach involves designing and implementing strategic policies that drive innovation while mitigating associated risks, ultimately ensuring these technologies contribute to a future of increased abundance and security.
The Emerging Technologies program fosters a collaborative environment among researchers, facilitating in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges presented by evolving technologies. We organize and host a variety of research workshops, panels, and coordinated activities to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration. Additionally, the program offers funding opportunities to support groundbreaking research initiatives. Through these efforts, we strive to institutionalize cooperation and drive forward-thinking solutions in the field of emerging technologies.
