Tech & Narrative Lab

Just as technology advancements continue to increase in size and scope, so do their impact on society. But many policymaking processes and analytic approaches remain rooted in outmoded 20th century models and capabilities.

In Pardee RAND’s Tech and Narrative Lab (TNL), policy analysts can apply new and emerging technologies to study policy problems and create novel policy solutions, as well as understand the policy implications of new and emerging technologies.

The lab will focus initially on three categories of technology:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality (VAMR), and
the Internet of Things (IoT)
TNL embodies a philosophy of curiosity and experimentation within the broad context of policy analysis and action.

But the TNL is more than just a place. It embodies a philosophy of curiosity and experimentation within the broad context of policy analysis and action.
