The Pros And Cons Of Genetically Engineering Humans
Today there is a lot of fear around the prospect of genetically modify humans beings. Yet this will become more commonplace in the coming decades.
Startling progress in brain simulation
Brain simulation is the idea of imitating and hopefully emulating the natural brains connections and processes using a computer-based model.
Will Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) make us Telepathic?
The biggest use of this technology would be in the medical field, where neural interfaces will treat diseases like Alzheimer’s.
What can AI do for you so far?
Artificial Intelligence has the potential to disrupt every field across the whole ecosystem and it has been making huge strides in that direction.
How Gene Editing Is Changing the World
In “Hacking the Code of Life”, Nessa Carey explores advances that are giving us new powers to alter the genome.
Linking brains to computers: how new implants are helping us achieve this goal
It is important that we continue to push the boundaries of modern science to give medical professionals the best possible tools to do their jobs.
Our Best Values Must Guide Our Most Powerful Technologies
Our future is at stake and we all, or at least as many as possible, must play a role determining how we move forward.
A philosophical quest for our biggest problems
The first big problem is death. Roughly 90 percent of everybody who has been alive has died by now.
We can identify ‘bad’ genes. Why can’t we use CRISPR gene editing to get rid of them?
A desirable option would be to use CRISPR gene editing to essentially cut out the unwanted gene. There are, however, many challenges ahead.
The four drivers of Artificial Intelligence
Professor Hod Lipson, Columbia University, discusses the four drivers of artificial intelligence and their impact on how we live and work.
