**Unlocking the Future: Navigating Collingridge's Dilemma in Technology Regulation**

In this thought-provoking video, we delve deep into the complex world of technology regulation and its societal implications, guided by the insights of renowned scholars like David Collingridge and Eugeny Morozov. Discover the intricacies of Collingridge's dilemma and how it poses a significant challenge in our rapidly evolving technological landscape. Should we regulate emerging technologies like drones and facial recognition systems before their effects are fully understood, or wait until their impact is undeniable?

Join us as we explore the generational perspectives on innovation, inspired by Douglas Adams' humorous take on how our age shapes our acceptance of new technologies. From the printing press to the latest AI advancements, we analyze how each generation perceives technological change and its implications for our future.

00:00When confronted with the emergence of new technology and its societal implications,
00:10there are essentially two strategies to consider.
00:14One approach is to regulate the technology while it is still nascent and not widely understood,
00:19potentially obscuring unforeseen or undesirable effects.
00:24The alternative is to delay regulation until these effects become clear, although by then,
00:29the opportunity for effective control may be lost.
00:34This conundrum, known as Collingridge's Dilemma, was first articulated by David Collingridge,
00:39a scholar at Aston University in the UK, in his 1980 work The Social Control of Technology.
00:47He succinctly encapsulated the issue, when change is easy, its necessity cannot be foreseen.
00:54When the need for change becomes apparent, the process has already become costly, difficult,
00:59and laborious.
01:01Eugenie Morozov, a visiting professor at Stanford University, highlights this dilemma in the
01:07book that explains everything, edited by John Brachman.
01:11He describes it as a particularly elegant way to understand the complex ethical and
01:16technological trade-offs, such as those posed by drones or facial recognition systems, that
01:22challenge our interconnected world.
01:25An additional perspective on managing new technologies relates to our innate attraction
01:30to novelty, which is closely tied to our age.
01:34Douglas Adams, the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, humorously addressed
01:39this in an article for the Sunday Times on August 29, 1999.
01:45He speculated that earlier generations likely grumbled about innovations like television,
01:50the telephone, cinema, radio, cars, bicycles, the printing press, and even the wheel.
01:58He observed that we haven't necessarily learned from these experiences, outlining a generational
02:03view of technological acceptance, everything existing in the world when you're born is
02:07considered normal.
02:10Innovations that arise before you turn 30 are thrilling and inventive, often offering
02:14career opportunities.
02:17However, anything introduced after you reach 30 disrupts the natural order and is perceived
02:22as a harbinger of civilization's decline, until it has been around for a decade and
02:27gradually becomes normalized.
