“Should governments, corporations or open source ventures be responsible for inventing new technology?” My first thought was that no one should bear sole responsibility over inventing new technologies. In the case of an individual entity driving the creation of new technologies, there is a concern of whether or not their motives are ethical and if their decisions are for the people. In the past, we have seen examples of a singular organization having too much authority (or are the only authority) over a project… and it typically results in harm to the public interest. Innovation and invention should be a collaborative effort, where one entity can monitor the other and play a supporting role. Governments, corporations, and open source can all contribute in their own way, but it is also up to the individuals in each of these organizations to advocate for humanity as technology continues to progress.
