Alex Jones is reporting that Tyler Robinson was enrolled in a CIA Advanced program for college students called the CAI (Center for Anticipatory Intelligence).

Essentially, Jones alleges it is a program to find and recruit college students that fit the mold for what the CIA needs.

Wow.

And yes, I realize this is Alex Jones reporting this but quite frankly Alex Jones has been right about almost everything over the years and I trust his reporting and his sources.

I also trust my own research and cross-referencing, so I’ll show you what I’ve found on this fact-check of Jones’ claims.

First, let’s start here:

If you’re like me, you might be a little confused, because weren’t we told Tyler Robinson didn’t even attend UVU?

That’s correct, he didn’t.

But this CAI program is not at UVU, it’s at USU (Utah State University) and Tyler Robinson DID enroll there for one semester.

From Grok:

No, Tyler Robinson was not enrolled at Utah Valley University (UVU) at all, let alone in any specific program there. The Center for Anticipatory Intelligence is a program at Utah State University (USU), where he briefly attended one semester in 2021 before dropping out, but there’s no confirmed evidence he was part of that center.

So I can confirm two things:  (1) USU does indeed have this CIA/CAI program, and (2) Tyler Robinson did attend there for one semester and then bizarrely dropped out.

I cannot confirm whether he was in the CIA/CAI program, although Jones suggests his sources are confirming it.

Here’s more on the USU CAI/CIA program:

What is the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence (CAI) at USU?

The Center for Anticipatory Intelligence (CAI) is part of Utah State University and is a pioneering academic center focused on the discipline of anticipatory intelligence — that is, anticipating threats and opportunities in complex, emergent environments, and designing resilience.

Key points about CAI:

  • It offers a Master of Anticipatory Intelligence (MAI) — the first graduate degree of its kind in the U.S.

  • It also supports other programs (minor or certificate-level credentials) to allow cross-disciplinary training.

  • Its mission is to bring together expertise across STEM, social sciences, policy, ethics, behavioral science, data science, security, and more, equipping students to assess risk, complexity, and resilience across domains.

  • CAI draws students from many majors and backgrounds; cohorts may include undergraduates, graduates, and professionals.

How is UVU involved?

Utah Valley University does not host a center explicitly named “Center for Anticipatory Intelligence.” Instead, UVU’s Center for National Security Studies (CNSS) works in close partnership with USU’s CAI through a joint initiative called the Intermountain Intelligence, Industry, and Security Consortium (I³SC).

What is I³SC?

  • I³SC stands for Intermountain Intelligence, Industry, and Security Consortium.

  • It builds a workforce development pipeline across UVU and USU, offering interlocking, stackable credentials in areas such as:

    • Anticipatory intelligence

    • Security analytics

    • Cybersecurity

    • Secure computing

    • Artificial intelligence

    • Security and intelligence studies

  • Industry partners support I³SC by helping with curriculum, offering internships, guest lectures, and capstone projects.

  • The program received a large grant from the Utah Legislature (over $5 million) to fuel this joint effort.

  • Students at both institutions can earn complementary skill sets and credentials, while benefiting from exposure to both security/national studies (via UVU) and anticipatory intelligence (via USU).

Why this matters

  • The collaboration bridges academia, industry, and government to develop talent capable of addressing evolving threats and challenges in technology, security, and resilience.

  • It reflects the modern understanding that anticipating risk requires a cross-disciplinary approach, not just traditional intelligence or security studies.

  • For students, it provides internships, real-world projects, and credentials aligned with workforce needs in deep tech and security sectors.

  • It positions Utah’s universities and industries to respond to challenges in AI, cybersecurity, global threats, supply chains, biotechnology, and more.
