The potential for another clustering of great inventions exists, and a focus on purpose and well-being might just get us there.
Superintelligence and the distant future
With the arrival of superintelligent AI, achieving practical immortality for the majority of people will become feasible.
Embryo Editing to Cure Genetic Disease Has Advanced Considerably
We're talking about genetic diseases that come down to a simple gene, so a good argument can be made for CRISPR germline editing.
Synthetic genomics – Inside the effort to create entire genomes from scratch
It is clear that writing genomes is the next major scientific frontier – and that we’re well on our way to crossing it.
How Artificial Intelligence Will Revolutionize the Energy Industry
Although AI is in its early stages of implementation, it is poised to revolutionize the way we produce, transmit, and consume energy.
Building a Better Human: How scientists plan to merge man and machine to transcend human limitations
The goal of using brain-computer interfaces for human enhancement may be a long way off, but the future is also bright.
Why the singularity is certain to happen in my own lifetime
The inflection point at which computers, ‘thinking machines’ and AI may become infinitely powerful is no more than 20–25 years away.
Writing Our Genome
This ability to synthesise DNA quickly and cheaply has excited a group of biologists who want to use it to create entire genomes from scratch.
How AI can spot Alzheimer’s disease five years before diagnosis
Artificial Intelligence can analyse immense amounts of data to help scientists better study, diagnose, treat and even prevent disease.
