About Mujtaba Karimi

I am an Intelligence & Security Specialist with a strong background in international relations, national security, and counter-extremism. With over five years of experience in political analysis, governance, and refugee affairs, I have worked at the highest levels of government, including as Chief Political Analyst for the President of Afghanistan. My expertise lies in research on radicalization, AI’s role in security, and the intersection of technology and warfare. Currently pursuing a graduate degree in Intelligence Security, I am committed to contributing to global security, counterterrorism strategies, and AI-driven defense solutions. Beyond my academic and professional pursuits, I am passionate about assisting Afghan refugees in the U.S. and building initiatives to counter extremism among immigrant youth. My long-term vision is to establish an institution focused on research and policy implementation in national security and radicalization prevention. Let’s connect to discuss opportunities in intelligence, security research, and counter-extremism strategies.
