Emerging Technologies

Empowering Innovation with Generative AI Development

Emerging technology is a term generally used to describe a new technology, but it may also refer to the continuing development of an existing technology; it can have slightly different meaning when used in different areas, such as media, business, science, or education. The term commonly refers to technologies that are currently developing, or that are expected to be available within the next five to ten years, and is usually reserved for technologies that are creating, or are expected to create, significant social or economic effects.

New opportunities in Emerging digital technologies

Emerging digital technologies have generated new opportunities while creating new legal challenges, particularly related to copyrights, trademarks, patents, royalties, and licensing. For example, the development of new digital communication technologies and media has given rise to novel issues relating to the digital reproduction and distribution of copyrighted works. The federal government, affected industries, and groups advocating for the public interest have taken (and continue to take) action to craft appropriate protections and offer legal certainty to copyright owners, digital technology companies, the public, and other interested parties. 

Risks of emerging technologies

We are living in an age of relentless technological innovation. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, synthetic biology and neurotechnology are set to revolutionise every aspect of our lives. These technologies will have deep economic, social, political and security impacts, as well as carrying with them some complex ethical challenges. Correctly gaging the potential risks and negative consequences these technological advancements might have is primordial. The firstfusionai has gathered experts in the field of AI, neuroscience and synthetic biology to discuss their fears associated to the latest technological breakthroughs as well as policy solutions to mitigate these fears.
