; Earlier this semester, @CornellTPI Senior Fellows @LushenkoPaul and Keith Carter helped guide a bipartisan national security threat simulation at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center with congressional staffers.
Titled “Great Power Competition in the Arctic Ocean,” the exercise explored how the U.S. might respond to mounting strategic challenges in the Arctic using non-military policy tools, fragile alliances, and emerging technologies.
The simulation team included Iris Ferguson, former DASD for Arctic and Global Resilience, and @Cornell students Anna Brubaker and Adrianna Zawojek.

The @bitcoinpolicy, @CornellTPI, and @fedibtc are leading a new 2-year study on American attitudes toward financial privacy. This project is the first to examine how public policy and enforcement shape user behavior & developer decisions around privacy technologies.
Director @sekreps says the study will move debates about privacy “from the abstract” to evidence by tracking how policy signals affect public behavior and choices over time.

On Friday, January 23rd, @CornellTPI Director’s Fellow John Miller gave a seminar on how drone warfare has evolved over the past decade and what it means for future conflict. He traced the shift from expensive, high‑end systems to cheap, mass‑produced DJI‑scale platforms.
His ongoing work explores low‑cost sensing solutions that could help drones detect laser targeting in milliseconds and enable swarm‑level evasive behaviors, with implications for both U.S. doctrine and adversary counter‑drone strategies.

Join us on February 26 at for Herb Lin's talk on “When AI Safety Isn’t Enough: Managing Risk at the AI/Nuclear Weapons Nexus.”
Herb Lin is a leading scholar on cyber, AI, and national security with experience from @Stanford, the National Research Council, and more.
As AI is proposed for more roles in the nuclear enterprise, risk can’t be reduced to zero. Lin will discuss how to assess what remains and where AI should (and shouldn’t) be used. Co-hosted by @CornellTPI and the Reppy Institute.

Last week, Eric Wenger (’90), Senior Director for Cyber & Emerging Tech Policy at @Cisco, spoke to 250+ students about why tech policy is now central to national security and economic competitiveness.
He traced the shift in cybersecurity from traditional network defense to securing AI and highlighted emerging challenges that will shape the next decade. Students asked questions on public–private collaboration and the future workforce.
