"Vast issues of policy across every area will be hit by the transformative effects of emerging technologies whether robotics/AI, synthetic bio, virtual reality, neuroscience, or the next generation of research in genetics. The innovation economy. Security. Environment. Freedom. Dignity.
Risk, technology, and human values come to a single point, and must drive a far-sighted policy discussion that we have barely begun."
—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
