Wadhwani Center for AI and Advanced Technologies

Conducting research on the governance, geopolitics, and national security implications of AI and other advanced technologies

The Wadhwani Center for AI and Advanced Technologies at CSIS delves into crucial topics at the intersection of policy, AI, and other advanced technologies, focusing on three key themes: Governance & Regulation, Geopolitics, and National Security.

Our research and events explore how governments can balance the benefits of increased technology adoption while mitigating potential risks; how the U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community can harness advanced technology for national security benefits; how governments can work together to develop practical and desirable governance structures; and what actions the United States should take to advance U.S. and allied economic and security interests. 

Governments around the world are struggling with the unique governance challenges posed by AI. Wadhwani Center experts analyze and propose solutions for national and multilateral AI governance efforts.
