    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Cultural evolution define us as a different species from the rest of Nature. Development of technology is key for this evolution. With technology comes responsibility towards our fellow humans, nature and even the planet. The way we use it will mark every step of our history. And never ever this has been so important as it's now when technology is developing exponentially and even AI Singularity seems possible. Time to reflect, regulate according to universal ethics, and continue working for a better world.
