MULTINATIONAL APPROACHES IN MANAGING EMERGING AND DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Summary/Abstract: The last decades were marked by substantial technological achievements with a constant expansion of applicability domains, including on security and defense. Generally, the new technologies are known under the title of emergent and disruptive which has a substantial note of generality. From this perspective, a particular sense of ambiguity is affecting the possibility of categorizing the new technological trends. There is a general consensus for several categories, especially artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, big data, which have growing applicability supported by innovative approaches and the use of dual-use capabilities. The challenge posed by EDTs is two-folded, in terms of opportunities provided for the overall progress of human society as well as regards the challenges and risks for contemporary society. Finding a balanced approach is one of the priorities for the coming period, whether we speak on national undertakings multinational ones. The role of NATO and EU in this undertaking is incremental, especially for supporting national efforts and maintaining technological edge.
