Hoover Institution (Stanford, CA) – The Hoover Institution hosted its annual summer board meeting July 11–13, convening overseers for two days of committee sessions and presentations by fellows on their latest research.
The Stanford Emerging Tech Review
Tad and Dianne Taube Director Condoleezza Rice provided a briefing of the fellowship’s recent activities. She said that Hoover was hard at work on its institutional priorities, notably The Stanford Emerging Tech Review, a new project set to be launched this fall.
As Rice explained, the Review encompasses a collaboration between Hoover scholars and Stanford science and technology experts to assess the national security, economic, and social implications of frontier technologies, including artificial intelligence and synthetic biology.
Cochaired by Director Rice, senior fellows John Taylor and Amy Zegart, and Jennifer Widom, dean of Stanford’s school of engineering, the Review will produce an annual report, as well as a regular stream of programming and engagement efforts to demystify the complexities of these technologies for the attentive public and policy leaders, and to provide recommendations on how to govern their use in accordance with the values of American democracy.
