Philips states who will supervise the ethical standards governing such technology use. “ethics should not be preached from an academic ivory tower.”

Philips cites two examples of this regulation: the Council of Europe recently released a strategy action plan to address issues raised by neurotechnologies. The Rathenau Institute was also established by the Dutch government and aims at assessing the effects of technology on people’s lives.
Klaus Schwab of World Economic Forum has already suggested that there might soon be “a new” economic forum. “fourth industrial revolution,”This will “lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity.”
