At the Intersection of Law, Technology, and Power
Frontier and Order exists to examine the gap between what technology can do and what governance can address. The legal, philosophical, and political frameworks that were built to manage the world are struggling to keep up with the pace of what is being invented and deployed. We contribute rigorous analysis to the discussion that needs to be had.
Autonomous systems operate in legal gray zones that existing law was never built to address. Commercial satellites continue to blur the line between civilian infrastructure and military capability. Artificial intelligence is making consequential decisions at speeds that no regulatory body or judicial process can match.
Frontier and Order offers analysis for those seeking to map the landscape and works directly with organizations, institutions, and companies building at these frontiers to ensure that what gets deployed is properly assessed, well governed, and built with a clear grasp of the consequences.
What We Cover
Strategy
How states and non-state actors are utilizing emerging technology through various domains, what capabilities are being built, by whom, and with what purpose.
Innovation
How new technologies are being developed, funded, and brought to market, and what that means for the companies, governments, and people caught in its wake.
Ethics
The philosophical dimensions of emerging technology, from the morality of autonomous weapons to the accountability gaps created when machines make decisions faster than humans can review them.
Governance
The legal and regulatory frameworks that govern emerging technology, where they fall short, and what is actually required to address what is coming.
