The central problem for humanity in the 21st century is how we can nurture sufficient legitimate political power and wisdom, adequate technical mastery, and robust norms to constrain technologies to ensure they continue to do far more good than harm. How in other words, we can contain the seemingly uncontainable.
We don't need to totally reinvent the institutional wheel, creating more opportunities for rivalry and grandstanding. We just should find every means possible of improving it - and fast.
The common thread here is governance: of software systems of microchips, of businesses and research institutes, of countries, and of the international community. At each level is a thicket of incentives, sunk costs, institutional inertia, conflicting fiefdoms and worldviews that must be cut through. Make no mistake. Ethics, safety, containment - these will be products of good governance above all. But good governance doesn't just come from well-defined rules and effective institutional frameworks. ... [it] needs to ensure there is a self-critical culture that actively wants to implement them.
