Många forskare tror att vi inom de närmaste 20 åren kommer att få
uppleva snabb och samhällspåverkande utveckling inom tre ömsesidigt
växelverkande områden: Det första, som vilar på kiseltekniken, är infor-
mationsteknologin. Den har redan slagit igenom i vår vardag. Bioteknik och molekylärbiologi är det andra området, vilket just är [...]

The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is funding a number of technologies that tap into the brain’s ability to detect threats before the conscious mind is able to process the information. Already, there is Pentagon-sponsored work on using the brain’s pattern detection capabilities for enhanced goggles and super-fast satellite imagery analysis. What [...]
The main aim of the ETICA research project is to identify ethical issues arising from information and communication technologies in the coming 10 to 15 years. These have now been identified and can be viewed on this link which lists the emerging technologies that have been identified as having a significant potential impact on humans and society.
ETICA [...]
