Marc Goodman
imagines the future crime and terrorism challenges we will all face as a result
of advancing technologies. He thinks deeply about the disruptive security
implications of robotics, artificial intelligence, social data, virtual reality
and synthetic biology. Technology, he says, is affording exponentially growing
power to non-state actors and rogue players, with significant consequences for
our common global security. How to respond to these threats? The crime-fighting
solution might just lie in crowdsourcing.
Goodman heads the Future Crimes Institute, a think tank and clearinghouse
that researches and advises on the security and risk implications of emerging
technologies. He also serves as the Global Security Advisor and Chair for
Policy and Law at Singularity University.
