The Driver in the Driverless Car How Our Technology Choices will Create the Future by Alex Salkever, Vivek Wadhwa, Edition 2017
Technology is advancing faster than ever but for better or for worse? On the one hand, astonishing technology developments such as personalized genomics, self driving cars, drones, and artificial intelligence could make our lives healthier, safer, and easier. On the other hand, these very same technologies could raise the specter of a frightening and alienating future eugenics, a jobless economy, a complete loss of privacy, and an ever worsening spiral of economic inequality. How can we make appropriate decisions about whether and how to adopt new technologies? Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever propose that we ask three questions: Does the technology have the potential to benefit everyone equally? What are the risks and the rewards? Does the technology more strongly promote autonomy or independence? They subject a host of new and potential technologies to these questions, but ultimately it is up to the reader to make the final decision.
