RAND Corporation AI Policy Research — program: RAND Center on AI, Security, and Technology (RAND CAST) — formerly TASP. Founded by Sella Nevo. Focus: frontier AI policy, AI governance, biosecurity, cybersecurity. Includes fellows program and collaborates with METR on Canary AI safety evaluation project ($10M via Audacious Project).

NoteThe source confirms most structural and programmatic elements of the claim: RAND CAST exists, TASP is identified as a predecessor center, the research focus areas (frontier AI policy, AI governance, biosecurity, cybersecurity) are present, the Canary/METR collaboration is mentioned, and the Fellows program is confirmed. However, the source does not mention Sella Nevo as founder, does not specify the $10M funding amount, and does not attribute funding to the Audacious Project. These omissions cannot be verified or contradicted by this source alone. The claim's 'as of 2026-03' date is current with the source's apparent publication date, so no temporal mismatch exists.
