Technology: Taking the good without the bad? Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives. This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlying them. There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding. We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath, and that is very dangerous. The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are

nanotechnology ( 纳 米 技 术 , artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt. But they are going to be very, very dangerous. I’m working in the field of artificial intelligence. I have a model design for something that

And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much. Eventually these technologies will become routine. That’s a threat to humanity. I don’t think it’s possible to slow it down. So what we need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools. The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger. I think if we don’t get some proper science done, the future is hopeless indeed. 17.
