Critics Warn of 'Apocalypticism' in Science Policy
Original: ‘It’s a form of apocalypticism applied to science policy’
A commentator argues that much of today's science and technology debate amounts to 'a form of apocalypticism applied to science policy', suggesting that fears about emerging technologies are driving policy more than evidence does. The claim taps into ongoing arguments over how governments should weigh existential risks from areas like artificial intelligence and biotechnology against innovation.
Why now: Ongoing public debate over whether warnings about emerging technologies like AI amount to alarmism shaping policy.
