Many thanks to Robin Geiß of @UNIDIR for joining BRSL's Professor Andrew Reddie yesterday at the @GoldmanSchool for an illuminating talk on emerging technology, security, society, and how Dr. Geiß charts UNIDIR's strategic direction.

[Berkeley Risk and Security Lab @BerkeleyRisk]

The lecture was part of Professor Reddie's course “Progress? An Introduction to Technology and Public Policy,” examining the intersection of politics, security, and technology in the U.S. and across the globe.

[Sarah Shoker @SarahShoker]

I'll be speaking at "Algorithmic Warfare in Iran and Beyond" on April 1st. I'm joined by the fantastic @jessicadorsey , @mchorowitz, and @Ritwik_G. Please bring your questions!

Big thanks to @BerkeleyRisk for hosting us! RSVP below.

🚨 New BRSL Brisk Assessment!

In this new publication, BRSL Executive Director Leah Walker makes a case for why leading research institutions, like UC Berkeley, are a natural home for national security research, like the Lab's.

@GoldmanSchool

[Berkeley Risk and Security Lab @BerkeleyRisk]

Because of the built-in culture of academic excellence and technological innovation, such institutions pose a great opportunity for research and allow researchers the space to forge ground-breaking solutions to complex geopolitical and national security-related issues.
