"The transformative impacts of emerging technologies raise vast issues of policy across every area, as we forge ahead into an innovative future. Risk, technology, and human values are all inter-related, and demand a far-sighted policy discussion that we have barely begun. C-PET's task is to drive this conversation."
—Nigel Cameron
President and CEO, C-PET

"Americans have always defined themselves in terms of the future. It is therefore astonishing that there is no policy institute on emerging technologies in the nation's capital, one that cuts across philosophical lines. C-PET addresses that absence in our national conversation."
—JONATHAN MORENO
