Speaker Topics
- Superhuman Era: What is the impact of biohacking? What if we can significantly upgrade our physical, cognitive, and emotional capabilities? How will human life change in the coming 50 years? In this talk, Peter Joosten will discuss the consequences of this Superhuman Era on mankind, society, and ethics.
- Biohacking: What are the major developments in biohacking and human enhancement? Biohacking covers a lot of technologies: from gadgets and wearables to implants, brain-computer interfacing, artificial intelligence, and genetic modification. How can we judge the impact and effects of human augmentation? During this workshop, we discuss the pros and cons of biohacking, and we seek a common ethical framework.
- Anti-aging society: What does it mean to live in a longevity society? What if we can significantly upgrade our physical, cognitive, and emotional capabilities? What if we all increase our longevity? How will human life change in the coming 50 years? What are the main drivers of this development, what kind of policy would apply and how will society change?
- Impact of future technology: How will future innovations have an impact on human life? How does technology shape us as humans, our organizations, and society as a whole? And vice versa: how do our values, preferences, opinions, and institutional forces impact the development of technology? In this talk, we co-create new views on life, society, policy, and governance
