Utah State University’s Center for Anticipatory Intelligence (CAI) is a leading-edge research and teaching nexus focused on complex emergent security challenges.CAI has led the pioneering effort in the US to establish the academic field of Anticipatory Intelligence: a multidomain approach to anticipating threats and opportunities emerging from the world’s increasingly complex security environment, oriented around the goal of reducing uncertainty and designing resilience across future scenarios. As the laboratory school for Anticipatory Intelligence, CAI moved beyond the siloed approach to university education, that remains common through its innovative and highly interdisciplinary curriculum. CAI’s Anticipatory Intelligence courses combine top-tier collaborative expertise in data science, geopolitics, engineering, ethics and philosophy, mathematics, life sciences, national security studies, and behavioral sciences to cross-train students and professionals with the skills and analytic sophistication necessary to anticipate and confront the complex, transformative, and existential challenges of the twenty-first century. 

CAI facilitates USU’s first-in-the-nation Minor, Graduate Certificate, and Master of Anticipatory Intelligence (MAI) academic programs as well as professional training for business, government, and military personnel. Anticipatory Intelligence graduates are equipped to respond to the significant upswell in labor market demand across the US public and private sectors for security-focused professionals from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds who possess advanced training in both hard and soft skills of security thinking, structured tookits for system-level threat assessment and resilience design, and sophistication in interdisciplinary analysis and synthesis regarding complex and emergent security issues affecting their professional fields. 

Further information on the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence, including mission, faculty and staff, partners and collaboration, academic programs, and more is available on the CAI website, cai.usu.edu.
