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

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.
