The Emerging Technology Observatory (ETO) was launched in 2022 to address the challenge of making sense of the fast-moving, often overwhelming amount of information available on global science and technology. ETO is a free public platform for data and insight on critical emerging technology issues. Building on CSET’s data and analytic capabilities, we transform emerging tech information from diverse sources into accessible tools and resources – empowering you to analyze, communicate, and act with data-driven confidence.
ETO’s current tools include:
- PATHWISE maps workforce and education metrics for emerging technology talent across U.S. regions.
- Scout is a discovery tool for Chinese-language writing on science and technology.
- Map of Science organizes global research literature into a powerful web-based explorer, revealing trends and hotspots in science and technology research.
- AGORA is a living collection of AI-relevant laws, regulations, standards, and other governance documents from the U.S. and around the world.
- Supply Chain Explorer is a guide to the vast, complex, and critical supply chain for advanced computer chips.
- Research Almanac provides high-level trends in global emerging technology research on topics in AI, biotechnology, chips, and cybersecurity.
- Country Activity Tracker provides data on global AI research, patenting, and investment in a user-friendly dashboard.
