Georgetown Foretell Forecaster听(Remote Volunteer Opportunity)


In collaboration with the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) at Georgetown University, our students provide a community of forecasters to predict trends in AI and emerging technology that will inform their policy recommendations. This is a unique opportunity to learn more about crowd forecasting and to shape the future of emerging tech policy. The most active and accurate participants will be eligible to win rewards and prizes!听

All participants will have access to forecasting data that can be used for their own research purposes. This project has the potential to shape emerging tech policy for years to come and we (the CPG Program) are part of the project/team in kicking this off. If you are interested in participating, please use your "bc.edu" email address and not your affiliation with the 糖心vlog直播平台 Cyber Program.

You can learn more and register to become a forecaster.
