Export Control Researcher Joins BIS as Senior Adviser

Emily Weinstein is leaving her role as a research fellow at Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology to join the Bureau of Industry and Security, she announced this week on LinkedIn. She will serve as a senior adviser to BIS Undersecretary Alan Estevez. Some of Weinstein's recent work has included co-writing research advocating for new multilateral export control efforts (see 2205240039 and 2306270043). She also has outlined a potential way BIS can use its “catch-all controls” to tighten restrictions around exports of sensitive artificial intelligence models (see 2307060037), and has proposed the Biden administration take an end-user list-based approach to restricting outbound investments in Chinese artificial intelligence companies (see 2308300044).
