What do you fear about the future? Is it robots?
Is it our inability to keep up with emerging technologies? Within a few 
decades, we could see technological changes never before 
witnessed—ageless societies, software-based immortal humans, cybernetic 
organisms, and means of transport at lightning speed. Can we coexist 
with machines that will be smarter, faster, and wiser than humans? 
Will 
we blend with technology, or will a new dimension of “humans” emerge? 
What are the implications of human intervention in evolution, and can we 
do it responsibly?

Ultimately, should ethics play a role? If yes, how?

Ethics must keep up with the exponential progress of technology. Ethics 
should leapfrog and facilitate public debates, not only among rulers but 
also among influential contemporary thinkers, philosophers, scientists, 
engineers, and prominent science fiction authors. Students should also 
be empowered to reflect before creating new disruptive innovations.
We don’t want to slow down progress; we want to befriend it.  This 
coming decade will be the most pioneering decade in history, and 
exponential technologies will lead to exponential innovation. We should 
strive to take this journey, conscious of the risks we are facing, and 
raise a call to action for openly discussing the social repercussions 
these technologies could have if left only to their “makers”—a call to 
action in pursuit of exponential ethics.

NICOLETTA IACOBACCI, PdD, is a global ethics officer who engages 
executives, thinkers, artists, innovators, entrepreneurs, and students 
in conversations about ethics and emerging technologies. She is the 
founder of Ethica.ly, a platform for reflecting on the consequences of 
exponential innovations and ambassador of Singularity University Geneva. 
She currently serves as an adjunct professor at Webster University 
Geneva and at Jinan University in Guangzhou, China, where she is 
investigating the future implications of technology on society. A board 
member of major companies, she is also the founder of the Hyperloop 
Transportation Technology ethical framework, and her book Exponential 
Ethics, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, will be released 
December 2018.
