"...British prime minister Boris Johnson has warned of the
influence of Google, Alexa-powered gadgets, and “pink-eyed terminators
sent back from the future to cull the human race.” Johnson warned
members of the United Nations that “it takes real effort to conceal your
thoughts from Google,” and that in the future technology could be used
to keep every citizen underround-the-clock surveillance.
Johnson’s speech was meant to warn of the effects of unregulated technology, and call for the UN to work together on a common set of global principles for emerging technologies.

“Your mattress will monitor your nightmares, your fridge
will beep for more cheese, your front door will sweep wide the moment
you approach, like some silent butler,” said Johnson on Monday,
before warning that smart Internet of Things devices store everything
“in some great cloud of data that lowers ever more oppressively over the
human race.”
Johnson also warned that voice connectivity will be in
every room and almost every object, and that “a future Alexa will
pretend to take orders, but this Alexa will be watching you, clacking
her tongue and stamping her foot.”
Weighing up whether robots, algorithms, and services from
tech companies could be used for good or evil, Johnson also opined that
robots could be “washing and caring for an aging population, or
pink-eyed terminators sent back from the future to cull the human race.”..."

In a somewhat bizarre and rambling speech at the United
Nations, British prime minister Boris Johnson has warned of the
influence of Google, Alexa-powered gadgets, and “pink-eyed terminators
sent back from the future to cull the human race.” Johnson warned
members of the United Nations that “it takes real effort to conceal your
thoughts from Google,” and that in the future technology could be used
to keep every citizen under round-the-clock surveillance. Johnson’s
speech was meant to warn of the effects of unregulated technology, and
call for the UN to work together on a common set of global principles
for emerging technologies.
“Your mattress will monitor your nightmares, your fridge
will beep for more cheese, your front door will sweep wide the moment
you approach, like some silent butler,” said Johnson on Monday,
before warning that smart Internet of Things devices store everything
“in some great cloud of data that lowers ever more oppressively over the
human race.”
Johnson also warned that voice connectivity will be in
every room and almost every object, and that “a future Alexa will
pretend to take orders, but this Alexa will be watching you, clacking
her tongue and stamping her foot.”
Weighing up whether robots, algorithms, and services from
tech companies could be used for good or evil, Johnson also opined that
robots could be “washing and caring for an aging population, or
pink-eyed terminators sent back from the future to cull the human race.”
He also bizarrely compared Brexit, the process of exiting the European
Union, to Greek mythology.
For all of the warnings about emerging technologies,
Johnson’s overarching point is that the design of emerging technologies
must find a balance between freedom and control, and innovation and
regulation. “The mission of the United Kingdom, and all who share our
values, must be to ensure that emerging technologies are designed from
the outset for freedom, openness, and pluralism, with the right
safeguards in place to protect our peoples.”
Johnson has now invited members of the UN to a summit in
London in 2020 to debate ethical and responsible technology. “How we
design the emerging technologies behind these breakthroughs and what
values inform their design will shape the future of humanity,” says
Johnson. You can watch the entire speech, below.
