Helping decisionmakers understand, anticipate, and prepare to navigate the national security and geopolitical implications of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
The Center for the Geopolitics of AGI is committed to helping decisionmakers understand, anticipate, and prepare to navigate the national security and geopolitical implications of AGI. Through rigorous multi-disciplinary research, gaming, and convenings, the center brings together leading technologists, strategists, economists, political scientists, and outside experts to consider the feasibility and effectiveness of prospective AGI-enabled capabilities; the domestic and international implications of their use; and the strategies and policies that government and private sector decisionmakers could adopt to respond to new realities.
On Substack
The Geopolitics of AGI Substack shares regular insights from RAND’s ongoing analysis of the strategic implications of advanced AI—examining how U.S. allies and adversaries are preparing, what roles business and civil society might play in shaping the path forward, and how institutions might adapt to meet the challenges of this emerging technology.
Select Focus Areas
Framing the Challenge
Debates on transformational AI often feature disagreements on timelines, capabilities, and risks. The Center for the Geopolitics of AGI is establishing analytic common ground that moves beyond definitional disagreements to consider real-world implications.
Strategy
Within the Center for the Geopolitics of AGI, researchers are developing rigorous frameworks and strategies to address security and stability challenges on the path to and within AGI-enabled worlds.
Planning and Preparedness
Knowing what challenges advanced AI may pose is necessary but not sufficient to confront them. Researchers in the Center for the Geopolitics of AGI are asking what needs to be planned for now.
"Day After" AGI Games
The Center for the Geopolitics of AGI has run hundreds of immersive simulations to prepare policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and international partners for global disruption driven by advanced AI.
