I'm torn between arguments that argue for government regulation and those that argue against it when it comes to emerging technologies. My idealistic self sees a future in which these technologies are regulated and limited to a set of ethical norms and rules created by the people (or by lawmakers with public interest in mind). Taking the corporate control/profits out of the process of technology innovations and its integration with society is a great vision to me. Yet given the current captured state of pretty much every single government agency, this feels like a pipe dream.
