Global and National Security Institute

ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

Today’s national security environment is increasingly complex and covers whole-of-society problems such as extremism, biothreats, climate change, disinformation, and cybercrime. Advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, extended reality, quantum computing, and biometrics will require national security policymakers to understand complexities they’ve never had to consider before. 

The University of South Florida recognizes this trend and has identified global and national security as a long-range, strategic area of focus, with GNSI leading the effort. The challenges ahead require a unique, alternative approach that offers practical, actionable solutions to policymakers.
