The advancement of science has brought about profound changes in every
aspect of our lives, from medical treatment to the way we communicate.
The capacity of artificial intelligence, sometimes known as AI, to
accomplish jobs that previously required human intellect has caused a
revolution in a number of different sectors. The altering of organisms'
genetic composition, which is made possible through genetic engineering,
provides answers for issues relating to food security and renewable
energy. Technologies that utilise renewable energy sources, such as solar
panels and wind turbines, help to lower the emissions of greenhouse
gases. Manufacturing has been radically altered with the introduction of
3D printing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled better resource
management via the connection of previously disconnected ordinary
products. Because of the tremendous effects these technologies have on
society, their use must be carefully considered from an ethical standpoint.
