Technology To Grow Beyond Human Control?, IST News
 









Excerpts: (...) given this rapid development along several different fronts, the
possibility of technology growing beyond human control must now be taken
seriously, according to a new report. (...) "Future synergies among
nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science can
dramatically improve the human condition by increasing the availability of food,
energy and water and by connecting people and information anywhere. The effect
will be to increase collective intelligence and create value and efficiency
while lowering costs." However, it warns that "(...) unfortunately it is not
increasingly clear how much wisdom, goodwill and intelligence will be focussed
on these challenges."
