What new technologies carry the biggest risks?
The World Economic Forum asked "leaders from business, government, academia and nongovernmental and international organizations" to take a survey on the potential risks and benefits of different emerging technologies.

Geoengineering offers little benefit in relation to the risks. And AI/Robotics will either make a hell or heaven of our planet.
