class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When humanity gains new technological power, how will we choose to use it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A powerful technology does not determine whether its use will be righteous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Human choices matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developers can choose whether to build.<br>Researchers can choose whether to disclose.<br>Organizations can choose whether to proceed or stop.<br>Governments can choose whether to regulate.<br>Users can choose whether to use technology responsibly.<br>And individuals can choose whether to stand with principle when doing so carries a cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
