1. L'umanità sarà radicalmente trasformata dalla tecnologia del futuro. Si prevede la possibilità di ri-progettare la condizione umana in modo di evitare l'inevitabilità del processo di invecchiamento, le limitazioni dell'intelletto umano (e artificiale), un profilo psicologico dettato dalle circostanze piuttosto che dalla volontà individuale, la nostra prigionia sul pianeta terra e la sofferenza in generale.

Our Humanity+ conferences explore innovations of science and technology and their relationship to humanity.
Nick Bostrom's Home Page
Nick Bostrom is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute and of the Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology within the Oxford Martin School. He is the author of some 200 publications, including Anthropic Bias (Routledge, 2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (ed., OUP, 2008), and Human Enhancement (ed., OUP, 2009), and a forthcoming book on Superintelligence. He previously taught at Yale, and he was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the British Academy. Bostrom has a background in physics, computational neuroscience, and mathematical logic as well as philosophy.The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life. The abolitionist project is hugely ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and morally urgent.

Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence
In the coming decades, humanity will likely create a powerful artificial intelligence. SIAI exists to handle the implied challenge, both the opportunity and the risk.
The Future of Humanity Institute is a multidisciplinary research institute at the University of Oxford. It enables a select set of intellects to bring careful thinking to bear on big-picture questions about humanity and its prospects. The Institute belongs to the Faculty of Philosophy and the Oxford Martin School. Dr Anders Sandberg and Dr Stuart Armstrong from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology and the Future of Humanity Institute recently met with researchers from the Atmospheric Oceanic and Planetary Physics Institute for an interdisciplinary discussion on recent reassessments of the threat posed by nuclear winter. We are pleased to announce a vacancy for a James Martin Research Fellow: Socio-economic Impacts of Technological Change with the Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology

Nanotechnology - Foresight Institute
Foresight Institute is a leading think tank and public interest organization focused on transformative future technologies. Founded in 1986, its mission is to discover and promote the upsides, and help avoid the dangers, of nanotechnology, AI, biotech, and similar life-changing developments. Foresight is the primary force pushing for the kind of nanotechnology that will truly transform our future, from medicine to the environment to space settlement. We bring that vision and goal to new audiences, including inspiring young researchers. With contributions like yours, Foresight will be able to advance beneficial nanotechnology through our publications, prizes, and Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems. We will continue to be a growing force enabling businesses, scientists, technologists, policy makers, investors, and individuals to be informed about how nanotechnology can contribute to a better future.
