“With our growing dependence on artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and autonomous products, we face an erosion of basic skills as well as many deep questions about how this technology affects humankind. To explore this paradigm shift, NetApp\u2019s VP of Brand and Influence, Emily Miller, recently sat down for a conversation with CEO of The Futures Agency and author of Technology Vs. Humanity, Gerd Leonhard. They discussed the future of digital transformation, technology companies\u2019 ethical responsibilities, and the importance of maintaining our humanity in the face of automation.<\/p>\n

Science Fiction becomes Science Fact<\/strong>
\nAs technologies give us new capabilities, we become more and more dependent on them and, according to Leonhard, risk \u201c\u2018amputating\u2019 the skills we once had.\u201d Miller agreed, describing a recent trip on which she couldn\u2019t find anyone to give her local directions. Instead, they all suggested that she use Google Maps. \u201cWhat do we need to do to make sure that we\u2019re not amputating?\u201d Miller asked. \u201cHaving GPS is wonderful, but I still need to know how to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 10 years, technology will be limitless, said Leonhard\u2014and potentially dangerous if left unchecked. Society frowns on certain technological innovations, such as autonomous weapons. Other innovations, like the first gene-edited babies\u2014an advance that Leonhard discussed in his NetApp\u00ae Insight\u00ae 2018 Barcelona keynote\u2014are debatable. Miller wondered about the role that ethics plays\u2013and will continue to play\u2013in these scenarios, given that different societies approach these capabilities from different points of view.\u00a0\u201cDefining right and wrong isn\u2019t necessarily easy,\u201d Leonhard said. \u201cFor example, if you lose both of your legs in a car accident, of course you should have [the option to get] prostheses. But what if you voluntarily say you would lose your legs to get new ones that are better? That\u2019s probably not good, and who would decide? That\u2019s Supreme Court material…”<\/p>\n
