If we don't really think about this deliberatively, cohesively and with strategies both for Parliament and for citizens, we're going to move more deeply and more quickly into the world that Mr. Finkelstein has mentioned.
I've done work looking at the emergence of these technologies now for 20 years. We are seeing things get to the point where they are starting to cause confusion in the public. They're starting to cause confusion among youth.
We have to think about children, I think, fundamentally. Are we doing the things today that will serve children in being able to understand and trust the environments they're living in and the context they're living in?
That's the futures orientation that I think we need to have. However, we do require a structured approach to think about what these emerging scenarios are and what we can do today to protect and mitigate against those risks so that we are resilient enough to not be manipulated at individual scales as citizens or more broadly in various groups that we participate in, and to make decisions and use the resources we have to take action to both protect ourselves and find opportunities in a changing world.
