Event summary

The CHIPS and Science Act (US Congress 2022) introduced unprecedented legislation charging the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Technology Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) Directorate to work in consultation with the interagency working group in identifying and evaluating societal, national, and geostrategic challenges facing the United States and investments in key technologies that could help address those challenges. One year ago, NSF TIP funded a pilot National Network for Critical Technology Assessment (NNCTA) to bring together leading scholars from across the nation to begin to build the intellectual foundations, analytic tools, and data needed to respond to this charge.

On October 24, 2023 the National Network for Critical Technology Assessment in collaboration with the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation and the Hamilton Project, Brookings, held an event launching the release of its report, Securing America’s Future: A Framework for Critical Technology Assessment.
