FUTURES Podcast Live: Our Superhuman Future

On the FUTURES Podcast Live, British futurist Luke Robert Mason meets the incredible individuals who dare to imagine the world of tomorrow

16-Feb-2023

Transhumanists believe that the only way for humanity to survive in the future is to merge with advanced technology. Today’s rapid developments in gene-editing and artificial intelligence point to the potential for a ‘humanity 2.0’ to upload their minds, enhance their bodies, create robot companions and have babies outside the womb. Ideas that were previously considered science fiction are fast becoming a reality. When might we expect these developments, and what ethical issues will they create?

Join Elise Bohan (University of Oxford) Prof. Steve Fuller (University of Warwick) and Anders Sandberg (Future of Humanity Institute) to discover what these possibilities mean for the future of humankind.
