President Warner is taking @RICNews to the next level. We've launched @CyberInst_RI and the Hope Scholarship to make college more affordable and prepare students for the jobs of the future.
And it’s working: RIC is now seeing its 3rd year of record-breaking enrollment growth.
In the wake of an Anthropic researcher blowing the whistle on the proliferation of artificial intelligence, the Institute's Jim Langevin spoke with @NBC10's @MikeCerulloTV about taking these threats seriously and the need for comprehensive congressional oversight.
From AI and cryptocurrency to data centers, Rhode Island lawmakers tackled a number of emerging technology issues during this year's legislative session. @RICurrent's legislative overview offers a useful look at where we stand today.

Less than three years after our launch, the Institute for Cybersecurity & Emerging Technologies was honored to receive the Excellence in Cybersecurity Award as part of Government Technology's Rhode Island Digital Government Summit.
The work we do would not be possible without @GovDanMcKee and @RICNews President Jack Warner. We are grateful to their support of our mission to strengthen RI's cybersecurity workforce and provide hands-on cyber and AI training aligned with the needs of businesses and government.
