As the phrase ‘near-term’ suggests, those who have written about the distinction tend to characterise near-term issues as those issues that society is already facing or likely to face very soon: Brundage [7] defines near-term issues as those society is “grappling with today” and Cave and ÓhÉigeartaigh [9] talk in terms of “immediate or imminent challenges” (p.5). Examples include concerns about data privacy [32, 34], algorithmic bias [19, 21], self-driving car accidents [4, 17], and ethical issues associated with autonomous weapons [1, 2].
