The Stanford Emerging Tech Review 2025

 

Dear Friend,

We're at a turning point in history. Technologies like AI, quantum computing, and advanced biotechnology are moving faster than most institutions—or nations—can adapt.

Without a clear understanding of these technologies, we all risk being left behind, the United States risks ceding leadership, ignoring security threats, and missing critical opportunities for innovation.

That’s why the Hoover Institution’s Technology Policy Accelerator, in partnership with Stanford’s School of Engineering, produced the Stanford Emerging Tech Review 2025.

As Hoover director Condoleezza Rice has described this collaboration, the scientists explain the technology while the policy experts at Hoover explain the implications of the technology.

This groundbreaking report examines ten transformative technologies and their impact on:

• Your personal security and privacy
• Global competition and the job market
• The future of our economy and institutions

It’s written for people like you: citizens, policymakers, and business leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve and make informed decisions about our future.

As a valued member of our community, you're getting early access to this groundbreaking report. You can download your free copy here: https://resources.hoover.org/stanford-emerging-tech-review

These emerging technologies are reshaping everything from economic power to national defense. Understanding them isn't just for tech experts—it's essential for all of us to make smart choices in our careers, businesses, and civic lives.

I hope this report gives you the insights you need to navigate our rapidly changing world.
