The Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) is a think tank dedicated to policy analysis at the intersection of national and international security and emerging technologies, based at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. CSET's founding director is the former director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, Jason Gaverick Matheny.[1] Its current executive director is Dewey Murdick, former Chief Analytics Officer and Deputy Chief Scientist within the Department of Homeland Security.[2]
Established in January 2019, CSET has received more than $57,000,000 in funding from the Open Philanthropy Project,[3] the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,[4] and the Public Interest Technology University Network. CSET has faced criticism over its ties to the effective altruism movement.[5]
Its mission is to study the security impacts of emerging technologies, support academic work in security and technology studies, and deliver nonpartisan analysis to the policy community.[6] For its first two years, CSET plans to focus on the intersection of security and artificial intelligence (AI), particularly on national competitiveness, talent and knowledge flows and relationships with other technologies.[7] CSET is the largest center in the U.S. focused on AI and policy.[8]
