Rapporto Brookings del febbraio 2021, ma l'ho notato solo adesso (oppure l'ho dimenticato...). A proposito: se qualcuno vuole farsi un'idea concreta di che cosa ha prodotto l'OTA nei suoi circa 20 anni di esistenza può dare un'occhiata a questo elenco: http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/lookupname?key=United%20Sta... jc *It is time to restore the US Office of Technology Assessment* Darrell M. West Wednesday, February 10, 2021 SUMMARY The past several decades have seen digital technologies revolutionize a number of different sectors. Advances such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and mobile technology have reshaped the landscape and provided new ways of analyzing information, handling communications, and undertaking financial transactions. Yet 25 years ago, just as the digital era was unfolding, Congress terminated the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) that provided legislators with research on new developments and recommendations for dealing with digital problems. At a time when Americans are worried about privacy, security, fairness, transparency, and human safety, it is time to bring back the OTA so that members have the latest advice on how to deal with these issues. https://www.brookings.edu/research/it-is-time-to-restore-the-us-office-of-te...
