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 former director of Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity Jason Gaverick Matheny.[1]

CSET was established in January 2019 with a $55,000,000 grant from the Open Philanthropy Project, [2] and later received nearly $3 million in initial grants from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation [3] and the Public Interest Technology University Network. 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.[4] For its first two years, CSET plans to focus on the intersection of security and artificial intelligence, particularly on national competitiveness, talent and knowledge flows and relationships with other technologies.[5] CSET is the largest center in the U.S. focused on AI and policy.[6]

In September 2019, CSET co-hosted the George T. Kalaris Intelligence Conference, which featured speakers from academia, the U.S. government and the private sector. [7] It has published research on various aspects of the intersection between artificial intelligence and security, including changes to the U.S. AI workforce, immigration laws' effect on the AI sector, and technology transfer overseas. [8]

CSET's work and its researchers have been featured in various media focused on technology, national security, education, and international affairs. [9]
