Building a Positive Genetic Future for All
Human genetic science is one of the most important advancements of our time, but the benefits of these technologies could be overwhelmed by fear.
How to ensure future brain technologies will help and not harm society
Five possible systemic changes that could help speed up neurotechnology developments to meet pressing health challenges.
What is AGI?
60 years ago the ambition was to build machines that can learn and reason like humans. Human-level AI is now possible.
Could life have emerged multiple times on Earth, in the universe?
If abiogenesis happened on Earth, and if it happened on neighbouring worlds, there’s no telling how many times it could have happened.
New Reproductive Technologies Are on the Horizon
There could be two fathers, two mothers, more than two parents, or even just one. Or, there could be still more exotic sounding combinations.
Stop Aging!
It is an absolute certainty that eventually humanity will conquer aging, just as it has conquered a host of previously terminal diseases.
Destroying research embryos within 14 days limits chance of medical breakthroughs
Given the potential therapeutic benefits, there is now a strong case to consider revising the restrictive two-week limit.
We Don’t Have Free Will. We Have Something Better.
We have ‘self-aware, conceptual reasoning’, or SCR for short. Future machines that have SCR will also have moral agency.
Forget AI. The real revolution could be IA
AI refers to efforts to replace people with machines. But AI has a counterpart, known as intelligence augmentation, or IA.
Fetal Gene Therapy
Delivering gene therapy directly to the fetus of a pregnant mother is something that biotechnology futurists have dreamed about since the late 1990s.
