Alex, a fellow Hopkins alumnus, has 30+ years of operational expertise in cybersecurity, governance, and digital transformation—leading business units, influencing national policy, co-founding successful firms like the Hackett Group, and helping organizations worldwide balance business realities with cybersecurity and operational effectiveness. It was an honor to host you, today!

The SAIS Technology Club would like to thank Mike Y. for a timely and thought provoking discussion on the role of data as a strategic asset. A synopsis of Mike's talk at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) campus is linked below. Per Mike, "This article seeks to persuade national security, foreign policy, and intelligence leaders that understanding data as the new strategic resource is crucial to maintaining national security and geopolitical relevance."

Welcome to the official LinkedIn page of the Emerging Technologies Initiative at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) Established in November 2023, SAIS Emerging Tech is dedicated to exploring transformative emerging technologies and their global implications. Our inaugural event, the Emerging Technologies Symposium, hosted at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center, showcased research and insights spanning critical technology ecosystems: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, semiconductors, and space. Moving forward, we aim to create a hub for robust interdisciplinary research that combines the frontiers of technological advancement with the realities of international and national governance. Future and current policymakers must develop a solid understanding of emerging technologies, while scientists and engineers need to grasp the wider social, political, economic, and ethical implications of their innovations. This page will serve as a hub for sharing insights and expertise and building community around emerging technologies governance across The Johns Hopkins University and the broader emerging tech and policy community.? Stay connected with us to: ??Stay informed about upcoming events, workshops, and symposiums. ??Gain insights from thought leaders and experts in the field of emerging technologies. ??Connect with SAIS alumni and faculty working in the emerging technologies space ??
