We believe that rapid technological advancements are leading to profound changes in the conduct of global policy. Founded near the end of World War II, our graduate school, the Johns Hopkins Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), is committed to supporting and understanding the dynamics of an open and stable world. Adapting this commitment to a world shaped by rapid technological advancements requires an educational environment capable of fast reconfiguration and scale. To make guiding contributions to this environment at SAIS, we founded SAIS S2S Technology.
We aim for our work to contribute towards greater collaboration between the public sector and the technology sector. We see the work of Paul Nitze, the founder of SAIS, as a model for our work — bringing together different worlds (the public sector, technology, business, education, among others) to advance openness and stability in times of significant change.
To learn more about our mission and our background, please refer to the roadmap.
We operate on a model of distributed learning — we teach from student to student and transfer knowledge through tools that are built collaboratively, deployed fast and improved continuously. We are passionate about optimizing our learning to thrive in an environment defined by low resources, limited time and the fast evolving subject of artificial intelligence and emerging information technology paradigms.
For details on our products and tools and the rationale behind them, please refer to the product section of the roadmap.
Here is a breakdown of our operations:
- Primer series — short reports on the intersection of AI and international relations
- Events and conferences — hosting leaders at SAIS
- Distributed career guide — interviewing alumni working in technology
- Computational Applications to Policy and Strategy (CAPS) workshop — AI strategy and applications in python-sc2
- Career assistance — tailored advice to students
