About

Mahreen Qamer is an emerging scholar whose research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, national security, and defense policy. Her most-cited work, “Development and use of Artificial Intelligence in the Defense Sector” (2023), with 24 citations, critically examines how AI functions as both a catalyst for military innovation and a strategic concern for global powers in the 21st century. Qamer’s contributions lie in analyzing the dual-use nature of AI—its capacity to accelerate progress while simultaneously posing ethical and security challenges. She highlights how civilian AI technologies are increasingly repurposed for defense applications, raising urgent questions about governance, autonomy, and arms control. Her work is notable for bridging technical understanding with policy analysis, making complex AI developments accessible to defense strategists and policymakers. Though early in her career, Qamer’s research has already informed discussions on responsible AI deployment in military contexts. Her scholarship serves as a vital resource for students and researchers exploring the ethical dimensions of emerging technologies in security studies, offering a nuanced perspective on how nations navigate the promises and perils of AI-driven defense systems.
