Everyone knows there's a strong link between sci-fi and technology. But science fiction movies can also provide powerful insights into how to innovation ethically and responsibly. This week's video draws on author, scientist and Risk Bites producer 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.

Okay so this has nothing to do with risk. Or science (sort of). But I couldn't resist making it! I love Thanksgiving. This has to be one of the best holidays, period. Negligible commercialization, great food, and a chance to relax, catch up with family and friends, and contemplate everything you
A gene drive is a radical new way of re-engineering the genetic makeup of an entire species - including harmful insects like the mosquito. But as the technology steams head, fueled by powerful gene editing techniques coming out of synthetic biology like CRISPR Cas9, what are the risks, and how can w
Advanced brain computer interfaces like the one being developed by Elon Musk’s Neuralink have the potential to transform our lives for the better. But they also come with complex ethical challenges. In this collaboration with Elma Hajric, Risk Bites dives into some of ethical risks and responsible
