Dual-use research under scrutiny.
1School of Business and Technology Management, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, Republic of Korea.
Strengthened US oversight of dual-use research faces jurisdictional limits and costs for domestic science. This policy impacts scientific advancement and regulatory frameworks.
Area of Science:
- Biosecurity and scientific policy
- Oversight of scientific research
Background:
- Dual-use research (DUR) presents complex challenges for scientific oversight.
- Existing US regulatory frameworks for DUR are evolving.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the potential jurisdictional limitations of strengthened US oversight for dual-use research.
- To assess the economic and operational costs imposed on domestic scientific endeavors by such oversight.
Main Methods:
- Policy analysis of current and proposed US regulations.
- Economic impact assessment on scientific institutions.
- Jurisdictional analysis of regulatory authority.
Main Results:
- US oversight of dual-use research encounters increasing jurisdictional challenges.
- Implementation of strengthened oversight incurs significant costs for domestic science.
- Potential for regulatory fragmentation and reduced scientific competitiveness.
Conclusions:
- Strengthened US oversight of dual-use research may be constrained by jurisdictional issues.
- The associated costs could hinder domestic scientific progress and innovation.
- A balanced approach is needed to ensure security without stifling scientific advancement.
