About CTPR

What's CTPR?

CTPR is a biannual independent review journal focused on technological development and global governance. Rooted in Columbia University's global perspective, we conduct in-depth semester-long analyses of AI evolution and the tensions between technological progress and global policy. CTPR is committed to providing readers with the underlying logic that transcends the surface of news coverage.
