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.
Its mission is to study the security impacts of emerging technologies by analyzing data, supporting academic work in security and technology studies, and delivering nonpartisan analysis to the policy community.[1] CSET focuses particularly on the intersection of security and artificial intelligence (AI).[2] It addresses topics such as national competitiveness,[3] opportunities related to AI,[4] talent and knowledge flows,[5] AI safety assessments,[6] and AI applications in biotechnology[7] and computer security.[8]
CSET's founding director, Jason Gaverick Matheny, previously served as the director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity.[9] Its current executive director is Dewey Murdick, former Chief Analytics Officer and Deputy Chief Scientist within the Department of Homeland Security.[10]
Established in January 2019, CSET has received more than $57,000,000 in funding from the Open Philanthropy Project,[11] the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,[12] and the Public Interest Technology University Network. CSET has faced criticism over its ties to the effective altruism movement.[13]
