Our programs
CFG is composed of programs focussing on specific technology areas and aspects of technology governance. We think about these as the most pressing and under-served challenges of the future.
Overview
Our focus areas
We currently concentrate on four emerging technologies: advanced AI, biotechnology, neurotechnology, and climate interventions. What sets these technologies apart is that they can have an asymmetric impact on a global scale; are developing at accelerating or even exponential rates; and lack clearly defined governance frameworks. Our foresight and governance team work across these technologies. Explore more about each programme below.
Tech-focused programs
Advanced AI
Advanced AI is reshaping our world—but what does it take to ensure these systems remain trustworthy and safe for humanity?
Biotech
Emerging biotechnologies hold the power to heal and regenerate in unimaginable ways. We’re working to ensure its wonders benefit humanity responsibly.
Neurotech
How can neurotechnology enhance human potential while safeguarding dignity, agency, and societal well-being?
Climate interventions
As climate impacts worsen, we explore how to approach high-stakes climate interventions – wisely, grounded in sound science, and through broad dialogue.
Cross-cutting programs
Governance
Innovation is outpacing regulation—our team explores solutions to help policymakers govern responsibly and effectively.
Foresight
How can policymakers prepare for uncertainty and navigate risks and opportunities in a world of rapid technological change?
