Publisher's Synopsis
Three technology areas profoundly affecting our lives are big data, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI). We throw off data like a dog shakes off water, resulting in increased security breaches and a loss of personal privacy. Tools like CRISPR are being used to genetically engineer human beings, usually with little societal oversight. AI is improving much faster than we can adapt, resulting in significant job losses through increased automation. Where do we go for redress? Will we be comfortable with a robotic judicial system?This is Volume 8 in the "Technology Today" series, the final collection of Scott Tilley's weekly newspaper columns from FLORIDA TODAY.
