Technology and international security are inextricably intertwined. Yet the relationship between them is poorly understood except by a handful of specialists. This is an increasing challenge. Emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) such as AI, (counter-)space, cyber, directed energy weapons, electronic warfare and hypersonic missiles increasingly affect international security and strategic stability. At this event – part of the NATO Summit Tour – a distinguished panel of international experts will present different viewpoints on the impact of emerging technologies on deterrence and strategic stability and engage the audience in a discussion.
