The Received Wisdom

NOTE

Collective Understanding of Technology

The understanding of technology involves different levels of knowledge and expertise. It is important to have a collective, distributive knowing, where individuals from various backgrounds contribute their expertise to form a comprehensive understanding. When developing technology policies, it is essential to include a diverse group of professionals, including lawyers, computer scientists, social scientists, and national security experts, to ensure both practicality and aspiration. The goal is to create aspirational documents that push boundaries while still being practically achievable. While striving for technical explainability, the ultimate objective is public accountability, and there may be multiple paths to achieve this goal beyond technical means. Overall, it is acknowledged that there is an ongoing effort to make sense of technology and its implications.
