RAND's Technology and Security Policy program — reorganized into the Center on AI, Security, and Technology (RAND CAST) and the Meselson Center under the Global and Emerging Risks division. The densest single node where EA/AI-safety money, RAND's Cold-War national-security credibility, and the Trump-era security state meet. Produces the 'Securing AI Model Weights' playbook, compute-governance work, and the RAND–METR 'Canary' evaluation initiative; heavily funded by Open Philanthropy/Coefficient Giving.
