2023 Fellow Theo Knopfer

After studying Anglo-European defence integration for my Master's thesis, I have decided to shift my research toward Effective Altruist cause areas. My aim is to assess the threat of terrorist use of emerging technologies (especially AI and bio technologies). In the short-term, I seek to improve my knowledge in International Relations, AI and biodefence Policy to facilitate my entry in a PhD programme. In the long-term, my research will lead me to do policy advocacy in governmental organisations to improve decision-making, especially in situations of high uncertainty, through empirical and factual evidence.
