Vorwort

Civilian achievements – including medical ones – often end up being used in military applications. The armed forces are always striving for optimisation potential in order to emerge victorious in a conflict thanks to strategic, operational or tactical advantages. Successful research in the field of human enhancement (HE) could generate such an advantage in optimising human abilities. New technologies in combination with artificial intelligence (AI), applied to and within the human body, should lead to improved performance. This could be achieved through invasive and non-invasive procedures. But despite such high ambitions, technological advances do not always necessarily benefit mankind. In this publication, experts from the scientific fields of technology, medicine, society, law, ethics and the military outline the current and future challenges of HE technology, as well as the potential limits and threats for the European Union and Austria.
