This webinar explores prevalent, and sometimes misleading, ideas about emerging technologies in the fields of peace and security. It covers issues ranging from military AI, biological weapons to ideas on military spending and peace. Ultimately, the speakers unpack how faulty thinking about technology and security and its implications unfold in public discussions.
The webinar features the following topics:
- AI and Biological Weapons: Separating Misconceptions from Reality: Presenter Veronika Klymova researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt. Her work focuses on international norms on biological and chemical weapons, AI governance, and moral psychology.
- Misconceptions about whether and if more security will translate to more peace: Presenter Dr. Evelyne Tauchnitz senior Lecturer at the University of Lucerne and Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI). Her expertise includes ethics of technology and AI, political philosophy, and peace and security.
- Responsible AI in Military Contexts: From Capability to Accountability: Presenter Dr. Thomas Reinhold researcher in international security and arms control, specialising in the militarisation of cyberspace and AI technologies.
