| Abstract | "We are entering an era of exponential technology, in which advances in generative artificial intelligence are converging with leaps toward quantum computing. Pandora's box has been opened. The exponential technology genies are out, and they won't and can't be put back into the box. This leaves humanity with only one option: develop exponential tech responsibility, which includes governance and, crucially, a culture of collaboration across borders, across sectors, across disciplines into an interconnected, multidisciplinary, interoperable, constantly changing, evolving, responsible technology ecosystem. Exponential tech requires shared exponential responsibility. This book, written from the perspective of a governance, risk, ethics and sustainability practitioner and expert, aims to equip decision-makers of all kinds (local, national, international), at every organizational level (board, c-suite, management, front lines) and in every sector (business, nonprofit, governmental, educational), with a roadmap to understand, evaluate, develop and execute responsible, effective, creative, and innovative governance for the current and coming exponential age of generative AI, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, quantum and beyond"-- Provided by publisher. |
