The Techno-Political Collision
Abstract
The worlds of computer science and policy are on a collision course, and tomorrow's technologists are not being adequately prepared for this reality. As computing systems diversify and become more intricately integrated into our lives, the creation and maintenance of ethical, practical, and fair technology policy has become manifestly critical. Policymakers and the American public are faced with a growing array of difficult decisions to make regarding what role technology will have in our lives over the coming years. How will we prioritize privacy and security? How much personal information should we share, and with whom should we share it? How tolerant should a liberal society be of cyber espionage and warfare? Is access to information a human right?
