The “Short Arm” of Predictive Knowledge

From this week’s Jonas Reading: How should we approach the development of cyber-policy and infrastructure given the “short arm” of predictive knowledge?

Jonas says we can’t always predict how new technology will affect the future. Because of this “short arm” of knowledge, we should be careful when creating cyber-policy and building tech systems. It’s important to think about possible long-term risks, not just short-term benefits. We should plan policies that protect people, data, and systems, even if we don’t know all future problems. Being responsible and cautious helps us avoid harm and keep technology safe for everyone.
