He accepts that technologists are typically better able to see the benefits of the products and services they develop than they are to anticipate the potential issues those innovations may cause.
However, he claims that he and his contemporaries are working harder than ever to understand and monitor the downstream impacts of technical breakthroughs and minimize risks by changing as they go. He cites this as the primary reason for their increased level of effort.
