Safer tomorrow : Security starts with you(th). Policy Brief September 2022

Emerging and disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous weapons systems or quantum technologies are transforming the international security landscape and impacting the way NATO countries operate. The 2010 Strategic Concept failed to consider these critical areas, however, NATO has now put its focus on nine innovation areas, including: AI, data, autonomy, quantum technologies, biotech and human enhancements, hypersonic tech, space, novel materials and energy. As conflict becomes increasingly hybrid, the development of innovation funds, accelerators and transatlantic cooperation on these critical technologies to advance interoperability and address these new threats becomes paramount.
