The Carnegie Mellon Institute for Strategy & Technology (CMIST) is a new academic and research initiative launched in 2023 by Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). The home for political science and international relations at CMU, CMIST is poised to be a thought leader in global and national security issues, policies, and strategies related to digital technologies. This university-wide initiative is devoted to the wise development, use, and governance of new and emerging technologies. CMIST is a Team of Teams that draws from CMU’s cutting-edge research in machine learning, cybersecurity, robotics, big data, neuroscience, human-computer interaction, human enhancement, and AI. Our team of social scientists work to provide cross-cutting analyses of the political, ethical, social, and economic impacts of these emerging technologies. Our researchers take an entrepreneurial problem-solving approach to reducing the risks and maximizing the opportunities of emerging technologies in war and peace, ultimately shaping how digital technologies are changing national and international security.
