smarter-than-human robotics, are indeed possible, then it
behooves us to invest now in means to ensure artificial
intelligences will be provably beneficial, robust, safe and
controllable.

innovation proceed at an accelerating pace, but attention to the
ethical , societal, and governance concerns about the emerging
technologies always lags far behind.
