Introduction to the AI and International Security Program at the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS), Tsinghua University

The Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) of Tsinghua University was established on 7 November 2018. As a university-based think tank, it focuses on research within the fields of international strategy and security. Since 2019, CISS has focused on the cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence technology and international security governance issues, establishing a dedicated expert group for its Artificial Intelligence Project to advance research on AI and international security.

Concurrently, through ongoing collaborations with the Brookings Institution in the United States and the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue in Switzerland, CISS maintains track-two dialogues on AI and international security between China and the United States, as well as between China and Europe. CISS also continuously expands project cooperation on global AI governance with international organizations and think tanks such as the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

These efforts have yielded a series of significant research findings and policy reports, contributing to building international consensus for advancing cooperation in the field of AI and international security.

Furthermore, CISS actively undertakes research projects commissioned by national ministries including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Science and Technology, and Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, while deepening Area Studies on AI governance to contribute to policy formulation and international cooperation.
