Most commercial airliners already fly mostly on autopilot and are able to land and take off with little pilot assistance. The next big wave of AI will be to replace human pilots altogether. Thus, aviation will follow the lead of automotive transportation giving way to autonomous vehicles.
This is a thoughtful article and an important part of the history of modern ethics: Fletcher was an Episcopalian priest who converted to atheism before launching into situational ethics in the early 1970s. This twisted system of ethics has enabled modern Technocrats to do anything their mind can dream up.
5G cell-towers are already rolling out as the telecom industry salivates over the new high-speed wireless technology; note that China's Huawei is squarely in the middle and will likely fight to be a principal developer.
Technocrats have found their Nirvana in Songdo, South Korea - a smart city built from the ground up with the latest Orwellian technology available. Companies like Cisco and Nvidia will make billions while perfecting such technology to bring back to American shores.
UN migration champion Peter Sutherland is dead, but the UN continues to lever open borders to let the migration invasion continue.

Geospatial technology tracks things that move (ie, people, vehicles, etc.) in the context of why they move and for what purpose.

This is the essence of the Science of Social Engineering that Technocracy purports to implement.
The only people who think that Finland's UBI experiment has any value, are the ideologues who dreamed it up in the first place. Technocrats from Big Tech companies are pushing UBI around the world as a say to mollify displaced workers who have been pushed out of the workforce by robots.
The number of forced phone searches will continue to skyrocket in the future because Technocrats never have enough data and will always seek more. This is a such a flagrant violation of the Fourth Amendment that no one can even recognize it as such.
Seattle has long-claimed the mantle of leadership for any leftist, eco-friendly, Agenda 21 supporting policies that comes down the pike, and yet its practice falls far from matching its rhetoric, and likely never will.

This report gives an interesting overview of technology invading the workforce over the last 100 years, but leaves Technocracy itself in the dustbin of history.
