Abstract:

Multiple complementary advances in technology can enhance the performance of people engaged in defense activitieson behalf of the UnitedStates or its adversaries. These modalities of human performance enhancement (HPE) can be grouped into three principal categories: gene editing, applications of artificial intelligence (AI), and networked technologies that are wearable or even implantable (the so-called Internet of Bodies [IoB]). Drawing primarily from a literature review, this report offers an examination of these approaches to HPE.
