In a rapidly evolving, data-driven landscape, breakthrough innovations are propelling us towards a transformative era of technology convergence. Success hinges on the design, development, deployment, and regulation of technologies that are progressing at an unprecedented pace.
Stimson’s Converging Technologies and Global Security program embraces a multi-disciplinary approach to explore how innovative technologies like artificial intelligence, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT or blockchain), 3D printing, genetic engineering, nuclear technologies, and more are reshaping international security. For example, our projects are currently testing the potential of DLT platforms to enhance transparency and security in nuclear safeguards, nuclear security, and dual-use material trade, offering a novel solution to some common challenges in international security regimes. Through this exploration, the program aims to promote policymaking to support a successful and inclusive transition of these technologies in an effort to advance the next phase of humanity.
