CHAPTER 13
Chapter 13 of 'The Coming Wave' argues that while exponential technological change is inevitable, containment through regulation alone is insufficient due to the rapid pace and complexity of innovation. The chapter critiques the limitations of current regulatory frameworks, exemplified by the EU's AI Act, and highlights the fragmented nature of technological governance across diverse domains. It calls for a unified, integrated approach to managing technological risks that transcends isolated efforts and political short-termism.
