Description
Résumé:The experiences of the past century have led to the realization that technological innovations often proceed without adequate testing for their readiness and potential consequences for humanity. The prevailing mindset often revolves around the stereotypes of continuous scientific and technological progress, where new developments are rapidly integrated into consumer society, including military applications, without comprehensive oversight. These waves typically encompass several decades and are associated with the evolution of technologies and industries. They provide a framework for understanding how technological innovations and economic structures interact and evolve over time. The concern raised is that during these waves of technological and economic development, there may not always be sufficient consideration of the potential consequences, both positive and negative, of the innovations introduced. This lack of foresight can result in unforeseen challenges and risks for society. In today's rapidly changing technological landscape, it is crucial to consider the ethical, environmental, and societal implications of emerging technologies. A more cautious and responsible approach to technological progress, taking into account the broader implications for humanity, is increasingly important to ensure the well-being and sustainability of our global society.
