abstract = {Definition of the problem“Dual use” refers to the
applicability of a research result or methods for purposes
that concern the internal or external security of a society.
This includes research that can be used for military,
intelligence, terrorist, or criminal purposes. Dual use has
been an increasingly aggravating problem for many areas of
the life sciences and medicine for over a decade. The main
cause for this is that many of their results are capable of
demonstrating how humans, but also (domestic) animals and
plants, can be manipulated and attacked, and which tools are
particularly suitable for this purpose.ArgumentsThe
digitalization in the life sciences has two distinguishable
impacts on the dual-use problem: an intensifying and an
expanding one. By enabling faster and more comprehensive
research and development processes, digitalization
exacerbates the existing dual-use problem because it
increases the pace at which the results of this research can
be utilized for security-related purposes. Moreover, the
digitalization of the life sciences expands the dual-use
problem, as some of the digital tools developed and used in
the life sciences can themselves have military or
security-relevant applications.ConclusionTherefore, a
broad-based governance including wide participation of
stakeholders in the research process and broader information
on dual use in good scientific practice education across
institutions, career stages, and disciplines is necessary.},
