Every business leader, technology pioneer and public official needs
to accept and act upon his responsibility as a steward of humanity.
Humanity will change more in the next 20 years than it has in the
previous 300 years. Whilst, technology will bring be huge benefits;
we need to be acutely aware of the threats and protect humanity
accordingly. We need to have more human centric policies and
standards, ethics, social contracts and global agreements on
humanising those technologies that will grow exponentially. These
agreements will be as important as nuclear non-proliferation
treaties. It's time to choose your team. Choose Team Human to avoid
