A New Dawn

People have varying (and often conflicting) beliefs, expectations, and fears of science and technology. While emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) may be no different, it has captured the imagination of people of all walks of life globally and is already trickling into our lives daily. When considering the future, the role of AI often polarises views of “a utopian versus dystopian future” throwing up a number of interesting questions about ethics, morality, religion, social values, regulation, and perhaps controversially, what it means to be human. Moreover, AI seems to be creating expectations that perhaps cannot be fulfilled in the present day but may (potentially) affect our future in ways that we still cannot comprehend. A new dawn of innovation is upon us, perhaps a revolution or an evolution of human society. This chapter presents this new dawn.
