Technologies such as synthetic biology, nanotechnology,
artificial intelligence, and geoengineering will be among the most
life-changing and controversial in the coming decades. While such
technologies promise to address many of our most serious problems,
they also bring environmental and health-related risks and
uncertainties. Moreover, they can come to dominate global
production systems and markets with very little public input or
awareness. Existing governance institutions and processes do not
adequately address the risks of new technologies, nor do they give
much consideration to the concerns of persons affected by them.
Instead of treating technology, health, and the environment as
discrete issues, Albert C. Lin argues, laws must acknowledge their
fundamental relationship, anticipating both future technological
developments and their potential adverse effects. Further, laws
must encourage international cooperation and the development of
common global standards, while allowing for flexibility and
reassessment.
