ADVANCED SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR SECURITY...

This open access book brings together a range of contributions that seek to explore the ethical
issues arising from the overlap between counter-terrorism  ethics  and technologies. Terrorism
and our responses pose some of the most significant ethical challenges to states and people. At
the same time  we are becoming increasingly aware of the ethical implications of new and
emerging technologies. Whether it is the use of remote weapons like drones as part of
counter-terrorism strategies  the application of surveillance technologies to monitor and
respond to terrorist activities  or counterintelligence agencies use of machine learning to
detect suspicious behavior and hacking computers to gain access to encrypted data  technologies
play a significant role in modern counter-terrorism. However  each of these technologies
carries with them a range of ethical issues and challenges. How we use these technologies and
the policies that govern them have broader impact beyond just the identification and response
to terrorist activities. As we are seeing with China  the need to respond to domestic terrorism
is one of the justifications for their rollout of the social credit system. Counter-terrorism
technologies can easily succumb to mission creep  where a technology's exceptional application
becomes normalized and rolled out to society more generally. This collection is not just timely
but an important contribution to understand the ethics of counter-terrorism and technology and
has far wider implications for societies and nations around the world.
