Grace M. Werner

I am a policy associate and the interim Chief of Staff at an artificial intelligence and international security think tank, launching March 2025. I principally support strategic analysis of AGI impacts on national security and international relations.

Broadly, I believe the development of artificial intelligence could produce outcomes ranging from utopian to catastrophic and that all sensible approaches to managing these risks and enhancing benefits point toward US leadership and international engagement as the optimal path forward.

Previously, I worked in global strategy at Visa; business and policy analytics at a boutique economic consulting firm; and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance at Sandia National Laboratories.

M.Sc. in international relations, international political economy, London School of Economics; B.A. in political science, summa cum laude, University of New Mexico
