Within the framework of the collaborative relationship established between Med-Or and the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS https://www.inss.org.il/) of Tel Aviv, on Thursday 11 May was held a seminar, at the Foundation’s headquarters in Rome, entitled: “The Boomerang Effect – Terrorism and Technology”. The guest speaker at the event was the Director of the Advanced Technologies and National Security program of the INSS, Dr. Liran Antebi, who discussed with Med-Or analysts the risks associated with the use of new technologies, with particular emphasis on the possibility that terrorist organizations exploit civil systems and assets with dual-use characteristics. This eventuality, combined with the present and future impact of Artificial Intelligence, is a warning for national security, which makes the development of joint research projects even more necessary. The event confirms for Med-Or and INSS the importance of carrying out joint studies and research on geopolitical, defense and security issues in the Broader Mediterranean.
