The result has been the formation of companies that have become ubiquitous in our lives but have also unleashed a wide range of harmful unintended consequences. We advocate a new ethos of innovation, one in which unintended consequences are rigorously considered at the outset and monitored over time to mitigate them significantly. We believe we can accomplish this by technology innovators building software algorithms that can serve as canaries for emerging harms, capital providers insisting on assessing and governing unintended consequences, and policymakers evaluating unintended consequences to assure compliance. It\u2019s a very different ethos, but it is essential to embrace if we want to avoid living in a dystopian world.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div
