Scenario

When business partners avoid discussing long-term consequences of their innovation

My co-founder and I are building an AI product and we keep avoiding the hard conversations about potential negative impacts 20 years from now because we're focused on solving immediate problems. We both know we should be thinking about unintended consequences but every time we start that conversation it feels paralyzing and abstract.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The urgency of immediate creation conflicts with the responsibility to consider distant effects.
