Abstract
Technical Surprise assesses technological advancements for potential implications to the threat space, including agent use and release. Include horizon scanning to identify potential areas of concern and conduct technical assessments of emerging technological advancements (e.g., biotechnology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantum computing); develops capabilities to evaluate and assess technical enhancements that may alter the nature or magnitude of a threat agent; evaluates emerging technologies and convergence of technologies that improve the ease of threat use and make threats more likely to survive being released; identifies the limitations and barriers associated with synthetic biology and assess the implications, and identify and assess former technology hurdles that have been lowered or overcome and assess implications of increasing potential threat.
