Policy & Technology Program
Led by Dr Daniel Cohen, the program produces applied research that addresses concrete real-world challenges and opportunities associated with rapid technological change and its far-reaching implications for society, security, and diplomacy.
Working at the intersection of academia, government, and the private sector, the program develops models for cross-sector collaboration and provides operational recommendations. Over the years, it has helped mitigate specific risks and prevent adversarial activity in the civilian domain.
Emerging Technologies
Studying the strategic implications of artificial intelligence and other transformative technologies for national security and international diplomacy.
Cyber Threat Intelligence and Open-Source Intelligence
Development of analytical approaches for identifying threat actors, detecting patterns of hostile activity, and understanding how state and non-state actors exploit digital platforms. The program translates technical and open-source findings into policy-relevant insight.
Digital Diplomacy and Counter-Influence Operations
Research into the use of digital platforms for state communication and diplomatic engagement, alongside the challenges posed by disinformation and coordinated influence operations. Our work in this area examines how governments can protect the integrity of the public sphere while operating effectively in contested information environments.
The Policy and Technology Program examines how emerging technologies are reshaping international relations and security.
Through policy engagement and analytical work, the program addresses the technological challenges facing governments and international institutions.
