The Aerospace, Defense & Security group reflects on the ethical implications of using biotechnologies, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies in defense and security contexts. It investigates how these tools are applied to protect critical infrastructure, surveillance, and threat prevention, analyzing their impacts on communities and the global balance of power.

Cybersecurity and biodefense are central to the investigations, focusing on creating ethical frameworks to regulate the use of technologies that can both protect and threaten populations. Furthermore, the group addresses ethical dilemmas related to mass surveillance, privacy, and digital security, especially with the advancement of autonomous systems.

Another research focus is the ethical use of technology in space exploration and the militarization of space. This group seeks to create guidelines that promote global security while respecting human rights and sustainability in terrestrial and extraterrestrial contexts.
