Summary
The report names trust as the first of two tensions that will decide whether these technologies arrive well, because a therapy made for one person cannot be evaluated by trial designs built for identical doses, a protein from an engineered microbe asks for trust in an unseen process with no settled language, and a distributed grid asks households to share data and give up control over when their vehicles charge.
