We are in a technical revolution where cutting edge innovations in areas such as AI, 5G, robotics, and even gene editing, offer enormous promises for our lives, ranging from the mundane to the spectacular. Our persistent optimism overestimates the positive and ignores the unintended consequences for many of these technologies — not the least of which is putting in play the sequence for our own extinction.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
