AI: first, let’s forget most of what we’ve seen in Hollywood movies*

Humanity will change more in the next 20 years than in the previous 300 years

“Human Longevity, Inc (HLI). Today there are six to seven trillion dollars a year spent on healthcare, half of which goes to people over the age of 65. In

addition, people over the age of 65 hold something on the order of $60 trillion in wealth. And the question is what would people pay for an extra 10,

20, 30, 40 years of healthy life. It’s a huge opportunity” Our Exciting, Weird, and Scary Future: Q&A With Peter Diamandis

Exponential digitization, automation, virtualization and robotization: media first. Now: logistics, transportation, telecom, utilities, financial services, government…

Software that thinks like ‘like a human’: attaining super-intelligence?

Technology does not have ethics

Consciousness ? Embodiment? Awareness? Sentience? Purpose?

Human existence is a lot more than this

The Human Imperative

“A Columbia University study suggested that with a

fleet of just 9,000 autonomous cars, Uber could replace every taxi

cab in New York City, and that passengers would wait an average of 36 seconds for a ride that

costs about $0.50 per mile”
