Pete Furlong
Senior Policy Analyst
Pete is the Lead Policy Researcher at the Center for Humane Technology. In this role, he helps provide the foundational analysis and research that underpins CHT’s policy approach.
With a Master’s concentrating in mechatronic design from the University of Pennsylvania, Pete spent the first stage of his career focused on hardware development for robotics, drones, and autonomous systems at a high tech startup. Instead of engineering new technologies, he has since pivoted to focus on the policy drivers and incentives that shape our technology ecosystem. He leverages his expertise and understanding of the technology industry to drive effective policy change.
Previous to joining CHT, he worked at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, where his work focused on the geopolitical challenges emerging from the global internet and artificial intelligence. This included analyzing global AI governance, internet infrastructure, and the role of technology companies as geopolitical actors.
