How should we approach the development of cyber-policy and -infrastructure given the “short arm” of predictive knowledge?

The development of cyber policy and infrastructure is a task where you consolidate many different important ideas in regards to how you think cyber networks should function and implement them on the networks. It establishes a baseline and foundation for users to follow and sets the rules for what is acceptable on the internet. An analogy for establishing cyber policies and infrastructures can be the comparison to the process of writing bills that turn into law which are implemented in society. The process of developing cyber policies and infrastructures involves many brains and should be agreed upon by many people. Although one person can pitch their idea to contribute to what they feel should be included in cyber policies and infrastructures, the decision for if it should be implemented is ultimately decided by a group. This caters to a common public interest and a utilitarian view. The internet is always changing and is growing at an exponential rate. No one person can fully grasp the range of activities happening on the internet, making the internet an independent entity of its own. Furthermore, this fast rate of change toppled with a short range of control by people makes it even more important to develop a solid cyber policy and infrastructure as the internet moves towards the future. The developmental approach to cyber policies and infrastructures should revolve around the idea of ethics. Ethics is important when we are discussing the future with unknown outcomes. Ethics provides a stable and reliable outcome for a safe use of online networks. Even though the internet has evolved to move beyond conventional ethics, there should be an adaptable way to apply ethics to modern technology. For instance, we should tune into the idea of making it a responsibility to keep people on the internet accountable for their actions. Keeping a constant eye on activities happening online and reporting foul activities will help make the internet a more secure space for everyone. Following the core values of ethics to build the foundation for the internet rules or policies is a great guide to future instances that are currently unknown to us.
