That’s a pretty big jump—engineering’s doing its best to outpace the old limits, but the ethical side can’t just stay in the background. When you’ve got more power, the margin for error gets smaller, and even a small bias can affect more people, more quickly. It helps to keep a regular check on how these chips are being used, maybe set up small, transparent review groups, and always involve people from outside the tech circle. In short, keep the excitement but keep the dialogue open and the checks in place.

A “bias‑check” pod sounds like a solid idea—little eyes on the chip could catch a drift before it becomes a big problem. Involving ethicists early would give the designers a fresh pair of eyes on the assumptions baked into the algorithms. It’s a slow‑start approach, but the sooner you weave those safety nets into the hardware, the more likely you’ll keep the advances in line with the people who’ll use them.
