New innovations need support, talent and finances in order to have an impact on this planet. To regulate such innovations slows down global progress. Therefore, we need some new systems where the government and innovators can work fairly in tandem.
Such systems should allow for the rapid growth of the innovations in question, rather than being stifled by regular government check points and questioning.
These innovations are contributing to a fairer, more economically sound planet.
However, the most advanced innovations today such as artificial intelligence and robotics, must certainly be assessed for risk by the government in order to form policies that protect against these risks. Perhaps the new systems will allow safety whilst accelerating growth.
At a development level, regulation stifles innovation. At a larger scale, concerning market ready technologies, perhaps some intervention from governments is appropriate.
The whole point is that our current technologies are all developed in aid of a better planet, the most cited benefit being a superior economic landscape across the globe. Ideally, our planet and all its functions will be automated and nobody will lack anything. New roles will arise as our planet becomes self sufficient and people will have more time. With this time people will be able to get to know each other better, and the technology will aid in this endeavour also.
