About CSET-Foretell

Foretell is a crowd forecasting project sponsored by CSET that aims to inform policy by monitoring future trends in the technology-security landscape. For example, by 2025, will U.S.-China tensions have subsided or escalated? Metrics to monitor this scenario are posed as forecasting questions and might include trade and immigration levels or the probability of conflict in the South China Sea. Foretell is a tool for tracking, analyzing, and forecasting such metrics of interest.

About the Center for Security and Emerging Technology

A policy research organization within Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service, CSET produces data-driven research at the intersection of security and technology, providing nonpartisan analysis to the policy community. CSET is currently focusing on the effects of progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing. We seek to prepare a new generation of decision-makers to address the challenges and opportunities of emerging technologies.
