NEWS REPORT:

The “science fiction science” method could change how we implement new technology.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

It sounds fictional, but the “science fiction science” or “sci-fi-sci” method is meant to predict the effects of real upcoming technologies on society before things take a dystopian turn.
Researchers are attempting to apply the scientific method to technologies that are still speculative, or have not yet made it into the mainstream.
Having people virtually interact with things such as autonomous cars and advanced forms of AI could reveal social and ethical implications ahead of time.

Social media. AI. Genetic engineering. Self-driving cars. Autonomous robots. What if hindsight was ahead of us, and we could at least have an idea of the social, behavioral and ethical implications of emerging technologies before they even existed?

If it sounds like science fiction, it sort of is. “Science fiction science” or “sci-fi-sci” is an idea put together by researchers Iyad Rahwan (from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Germany), Azim Shariff (from the University of British Columbia in Canada), and Jean-Francois Bonnefon (from the Toulouse School of Economics in France). They describe it as a new process that attempts to apply the scientific method to technologies that are either being planned or are in the early phases of development. Such predictions have been made in science fiction before, but outside of the genre, they have never been fully explored from a scientific perspective.
