Abstract
Emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) are at the forefront of global innovation, influencing geopolitics, security, and organizational development. These technologies—spanning artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and autonomous systems—serve dual purposes, with applications in both civilian and military contexts. This dual-use nature poses significant ethical and legal challenges, particularly regarding their potential misuse in conflict settings. This article examines the strategic implications of EDTs, with a focus on their role in reshaping power dynamics and their ethical compliance with international standards. Recommendations are offered to address regulatory gaps and ensure responsible innovation.
