CSINT is excited to announce our newly funded project with the US State Department Embassy in Manama “The Trusted Compute Initiative: Advancing Innovation and Collaboration Through C-SIPA”.

For much of the past decade, leadership in AI was understood as a contest over models and talent. However, this contest has moved downstream to the infrastructure layer, where access to compute increasingly limits the ability to train AI at scale. Today, AI capability rests on a physical foundation — the datacenters, advanced semiconductors, high-bandwidth networking, and cloud platforms that train and run modern systems. Control over that foundation has become a primary axis of strategic competition. Whoever builds, secures, and governs this layer shapes who can develop and deploy AI, on what terms, and with what dependencies.

The Center for Security, Innovation, and New Technology (CSINT) is thrilled to welcome our newest cohort of Student Fellows for the 2026–27 academic year.

Selected through a competitive application process, this year’s Fellows bring a diverse range of interests and expertise to CSINT, united by a shared curiosity about how emerging technologies are reshaping security, politics, and society. Over the coming year, they will work alongside CSINT faculty, researchers, and partners on some of the most pressing questions at the intersection of technology and global affairs.
