\n

The TNL embodies a philosophy of curiosity and experimentation within the broad context of policy analysis and action. Central to these efforts are the ability to effectively communicate complex and rigorous work. The lab also embraces the themes of ethics, social justice, and racial equity, and actively encourages emerging technology experimentation focused on these topics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TNL v2.0 – Grand Challenge Edition<\/h3>\n

The lab is focusing around three grand challenge areas: disinformation, mixed-up reality, and biorisk. A number of projects are underway, with more work on the horizon. This gives us a different way to think about the intersection of emerging technology and policy, and contextualize it to problems that need attention TODAY.<\/p>\n

It embodies a philosophy of curiosity and experimentation within the broad context of policy analysis and action. The TNL serves as a hub for students and researchers interested in technology issues, as well as a connective tissue between graduate students, researcher, and external collaborators<\/strong>, including academia, government, and the private sector. The TNL is all about hands-on work, collaboration, and exploration. It employs the best practices of technology start-ups \u2014 rapid prototyping, developing a “minimum viable product,” and iterating. This combines with an ethos of curiosity, exploration, play, learning and growing from failure, and doing rather than just thinking. Finally, narrative is a critical aspect of our work, as we need to be able to clearly and effectively articulate what we did, how we did, and why someone should care<\/em>.<\/p>\n
