In the latest TATuP interview, psychologist Harald Schaub delves into the various facets of technology assessment (TA). As AI blurs the boundaries between civil and military spheres, Schaub argues that TA must evolve into a trust-building tool that bridges the gap between science, policy, and defense psychology.

The conversation was conducted by one of the editors of this issue’s special topic: Markus Bresinsky.
