Touch all-in-one machine requires 'responsible innovation'

nowadays, in our daily life or work, we can often see the figure of the touch-control all-in-one machine, such as in: hospitals, banks, shopping malls, chain stores, business halls, restaurants, libraries, museums and many other fields. The application of touch-control all-in-one machine can bring a lot of convenience to people, not only can reduce the work pressure of staff and improve work efficiency, but also provide users with another quick and convenient way to inquire and handle.

but it is worth pondering, imagine that someone in the future can use the vulnerability of the LCD touch all-in-one software, infiltrate the hospital's intelligent medical equipment, blackmail the local government. . . . . . With the rapid development of touch all-in-one technology, this future may not be far away. Obviously, if the malicious use of touch all-in-one technology cannot be prevented, social stability will be threatened.

Over the past year, we and more than 20 other experts in the business sector, by thinking about the current touch all-in-one technology and how it may be used by bad people, a report was written-- Malicious use of touch all-in-one machine: prediction, prevention and mitigation. This report is based on the actual scenario that the touch-control machine may be used maliciously, such as using robots to carry out illegal activities and using a new generation of malicious software that is difficult to monitor to carry out complex hacker activities, as well as further extending the tool functions of the advertising industry and accurately launching them for individuals. In fact, during the period from the seminar to the completion of the report, with the rapid progress of technology, some hypothetical scenes that sound like science fiction have come true. For example, the report has a section on how to use new touch technology to create synthetic video and audio and process fake news from well-known politicians. This shows that even if you understand the touch technology and respond to the specific threats it may cause, it is still difficult to eliminate such malicious use.

This report takes the first step toward discussing these issues, arguing that only government and researchers are giving sustained attention, it is possible to identify, prevent and mitigate these threats. We have made four suggestions. First of all, policy makers should work closely with technology researchers to understand relevant technologies and current risks. Secondly, touch all-in-one researchers should seriously consider the double-edged sword of technology and assume appropriate responsibilities. Third, more research is needed from other areas facing similar problems (Such as computer security)Learn the solution. Fourth, more experts and stakeholders must be included in the dialogue.

China has the opportunity to play a leading role in these areas. In the 'development plan for the new generation of touch-control all-in-one machines' issued by the Chinese government in last July, call for the establishment of more perfect laws, regulations, ethical norms and policy systems for all-in-one touch machines to strengthen the assessment of potential hazards and benefits of all-in-one touch machines so as to ensure the healthy development of touch technology. The plan also calls for deepening international cooperation in touch-control all-in-one laws, regulations and international rules to jointly meet global challenges. We deeply agree with this.

It is essential to have a global attitude, which can not only effectively deal with these essentially cross-border problems, it can also ensure that the measures taken will not hinder the sustainable development of the LCD touch-control all-in-one machine as a whole. When dealing with malicious users, we should not sacrifice the spirit of open innovation, but adopt a responsible innovation attitude. Touch all-in-one machines can bring huge benefits to China and the world in many fields such as medicine, transportation, energy and education. Challenges and Opportunities coexist. To enjoy the dividends of all-in-one touch machines, the world must meet the challenges more effectively.

In response, touch all-in-one manufacturer Ettel said that we will actively respond to the national call, under this social background where challenges and opportunities coexist, we will vigorously improve the level of science and technology and apply the most comprehensive technology to the touch-in-one machine to ensure its reasonable and effective application.
