“There is plenty of room between the
utopian and dystopian visions of the fully
automated and artificially intelligent future
we are heading into at rapidly increasing
speed. Each of us has a choice to make: to
embrace these new challenges, or to resist
them. Will we help shape the future and set
the terms of our relationship with new
technology or will we let others force the
terms on us?”
