    • a Strategic Emerging Technology can be defined as a technology that has the potential to significantly impact global power dynamics and reshape international relations. Some key points about Strategic Emerging Technologies:
      1. They are characterized by radical novelty, relatively fast growth, coherence, prominent impact, and uncertainty/ambiguity[1].
      2. Examples include artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, biotechnology, and advanced materials[1][3].
      3. These technologies can alter the balance of power among nations by enhancing economic strength, military capabilities, and political influence[5].
      4. Countries that successfully develop and adopt strategic emerging technologies may gain competitive advantages and increased global influence[4].
      5. They are becoming central to great power competition, particularly between the United States and China[8].
      6. Strategic emerging technologies are shaping the emerging world order and impacting areas like warfare, global security, and strategic stability[7].
      7. Their development and control is increasingly seen as a geopolitical issue of the highest order, not just an economic/commercial matter[8].
      8. Countries are pursuing "technological sovereignty" in strategic emerging tech areas to reduce dependencies[8].
      9. The diffusion and adoption of these technologies can alter relative power capabilities between nations over time[7].
      10. There is uncertainty around how exactly emerging technologies will evolve and impact global power structures, making exact predictions difficult[7].
