Meredith Potter leads the American Security Fund (and the American Security Foundation) by triangulating between the industry, government, and ethics communities, encouraging them to collaborate to invest in AI security, safety, and alignment. She came to ASF from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), where she sought to accelerate U.S. investment in digital infrastructure, including by negotiating and operationalizing strategic partnerships with Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Her focuses – emerging technologies, particularly AI; U.S. competitiveness; Indo-Pacific security; global stability; and China’s impacts on all four – are the results of her relationship with Henry Kissinger, whose research, writing, and continued involvement in foreign policymaking she facilitated for more than six years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she helped Dr. Kissinger, Dr. Eric Schmidt of Google, and Dr. Dan Huttenlocher of MIT co-write their book, The Age of AI. In addition to DFC and Dr. Kissinger, she worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); the State Department; and the Atlantic Council, where she helped establish their GeoTech Center. She is a Term Member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a double graduate of Yale University (BA, MA), where she completed the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy and wrote her thesis under the advisement of General Stanley McChrystal.
