A Sci-Fi Movie Guide to Getting Technology Right

Can science fiction movies help guide ethical and responsible technology innovation? Everyone knows there's a strong link between sci-fi and technology. But surprisingly, science fiction movies
can also provide powerful insights into how to innovation ethically and responsibly.

This week's video draws on author and scientist Andrew Maynard's book "Films from the Future: The Technology and Morality of Sci-Fi Movies". Using twelve science fiction movies, and drawing on emerging technology trends from gene editing to artificial intelligence, the book provides an entertaining, compelling, and quite unique introduction to technology ethics. Essential reading for entrepreneurs, innovators, and anyone who wants to use new technologies to create a more just, equitable and vibrant future.

Movies include Jurassic Park, Minority Report, Limitless, Transcendence, Ex Machina, Contact, and more.
