Gerd Leonhard > Quotes

“The coming wave of automation will move way beyond the factory or public infrastructure and into our very biological processes such as aging and even giving birth. Used as we are to the gradual societal shifts brought about by previous change waves, often allowing decades to adjust and respond, I ask if we as a tribe are ready to abdicate our human sovereignty to the faceless forces of technology? Are you ready for the biggest loss of free will and individual human control in history?”

“we can find a balanced way forward that will allow us to embrace technology but not become technology, to use it as a tool and not as a purpose.”
