Nick Bostrom argued that, we cannot count on delimiting these inventions. As long as the disasters have not happened, the technology retrogression will not happen. So logically, we can only strengthen the international system, limit the risk of technology abuse and conduct more predictive measures, to get the drop on blowing the malevolent people. Briefly, we need a more sensitive global governance and the high-tech panopticon as he said. Taking pre-emptive actions on assumed threats may be a high-risk matter. It is certainly correct that Professor Bostrom will set off this debate around how to protect our fragile world from technological turmoil. The future deserves our protection.
