„Amazing innovations not only create
phenomenal opportunities for economic growth,
but also serious societal challenges as well.
Vast numbers of jobs will be replaced by
machine intelligence and robots. The increasing
capabilities of artificial intelligence and genetic
engineering have the potential to get beyond
the control of their creators.
As a society, we are entering uncharted
territory…..“
