“The Enhanced Human: Risks and Opportunities” was co-presented by the New York Academy of Sciences, the Aspen Brain Institute, and The Hastings Center on May 21, 2018. For more information, please visit: www.nyas.org/EnhancedHuman
Enhanced humans walk among us. Over the course of human history, people have sought to alter their bodies not only to restore their health, but also to augment their abilities. Some enhancements have been commonplace for centuries, like a simple cup of coffee to remain alert or eyeglasses to improve sight.
More recent developments are ever more complex, from prosthetic devices to restore lost functions, like robotic limbs or cochlear implants, to the DIY biohackers movement to create cognitive and body enhancers. As we move deeper into the 21st century, human enhancement technologies are being developed at an increasingly rapid pace. - Наука та технологія
Debates like this make me feel like the future is in good hands, despite everything.
This was an amazing discussion. Thanks for sharing this. 👍
I was really impressed by the fourth speaker, Meredith Whittaker (from 39:00) and the panel discussion. Here are (a lot of) timestamps, because I toke a lot of notes:
0:07 start George Church
4:46 inequality (not relative to ancestors)
5:49 not one to one relationship with heredity
7:19 we overshoot
10:04 start Jamie Metzl
13:00 Role of AI
14:45 IVF
16:07 precision medicine
17:20 stem cells
18:40 embryos that can mate with each other
20:11 gene editing
21:50 comfortable with new technology
22:25 Ethical questions like diversity, equity
23:46 different beliefs in the world
27:43 start Josephine Johnston
29:16 daughter and vaccins
31:15 where does it get tricky?
33:05 parenthood
34:05 arguments types 4x
34:27 means end distinction
34:57 hubris
35:49 complicit with suspect norms (liberal eugenitics)
36:44 Hyperagency (Sandel)
37:47 positive goals 4x
37:50 conclusion
39:06 end
39:19 Start Meredith Whittaker
39:41 why ai on he conference
41:09 why focus on dark side
41:20 current ai landscape
43:02 companies in neurotech
43:28 facebook 60 engineers bci
44:02 microsoft
44:19 neuralink
45:45 point: recources need
46:33 ai bias with examples (!)
48:00 normative archetype
48:48 what is normal?
50:05 Trump and politics
52:00 Start panel discussion
57:03 transhumanism and posthumanism?
1:07:38 Red lines like cloning?
1:12:08 inequality?
1:17:17 hacking genome?
1:19:19 distraction of technology
1:22:40 technology only for good?
1:26:22 social divide?
1:27:31 rich power > no determinism!
1:33:40 singularity?
1:36:34 change human nature?
George Church is great, as usual. His analysis at 6:52 is good to remember: the most attractive enhancements are ones we can't already do with machines, and he points out cognitive and aging.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Alberto Daniel instablaster =)
@Conor Ayaan thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Conor Ayaan it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Alberto Daniel Glad I could help xD
Holy shit your hair is amazing professor.
what a great service if you could pay 10$ and someone would listen to and annotate 90 minute talks by every 5 minute change of subject with links
that would be so amazing
The last speaker was the most lucid on the subject material.
What Science is best to study to get into this field?
I’m much more interested in what they talked about in private after the cams turned off. And what was said about the singularity is interesting.
We are free, free - falling onto quantum age of moore's law !?
Thanks
What's the full name of the science fiction author who does the 2nd talk? Jamie what? Anybody know, I want to see what books he has written
found it! Jamie Metzl all the speakers' names can be found here: www.nyas.org/events/2018/the-enhanced-human-risks-and-opportunities/?tab=agenda
Hero
Imagine being a super hero with fantastical powers
To be able to communicate with the trees and the flowers
To be able to connect with animals of all kinds
To be able to speak to them and enter their minds
Imagine, to be able to see in the dark like a cat
Or visualize by means of sonar, like a whale, dolphin, or a bat
Crawl up a vertical surface like an ant or a spider
Fly like a bird, soaring, rising, and silent like a glider
Teleportation, now that is alpha, the best
To be able to get somewhere, quicker than the rest
Regeneration, reincarnation, Godlike, untested
Defeating criminals, and arch rivals bested
A power, digesting data, absorbing knowledge by a simple touch
Like a super computer, it is never too much
Telekinesis, to move things with a thought
Cast a net over a foe, and smiling when they realize they're caught
To enter the ether, and know all things
Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Neptune, Uranus, Mercury and Saturn's rings
To glance upon The Earth, and see the sorrow
To see into the future, the unknown morrow
I am aware, the power I would feel
Is the greatest power, the power to Heal

What's the author's name
Best business to start ?
A bank, always has been, always will be. =D
Great to have an intelectual debate about this topic that`s available for public view,but i believe that the direction of one should be led in a less "obscure" direction,that is;to keep a constant interest on PRIMARELY biologicaly acceptable direction of outcome of the development of the,what obviously seems to be,the inevitable perpetualisation of development of this,possibly,the most hazardous interaction of "humans" with the application of "engineering the bio-creation ",and not to keep it so closely interrellated with the eventual possibillities for eventual "fine tuning" of the "product" in purpose of eventual economic benefiting....blablablabla...
"half of all embrios will be sequenced in china by 2020" wow this is insane, i need a source for this. anyone? complete media blackout on this topic, i can't find anything about it anywhere
Found any answers? I want to know also.
INDEED!
Must be tedious for George to listen to this panel and questions/statements. 😂
1:15 "Many people don't think that we should extinguish deafness including the ones who know what they are talking about because they have the disability."
I think she was referring to a deaf, lesbian couple from the US who came in the News because they made sure that the child inherited a gene-defect from one of them which made the child deaf. According to the woman from Newzeland, "they know best" because they have the disability. I say they don't know anything because they don't know what hearing is. They don't know what they miss or force the child to miss. To force a disability on a child is child abuse. That should not be controversial.
Some of these talks were interesting but I don't understand why the scifi author was included. If he had some sort of scientific credentials then he should've stated that. It was pretty icky & uncomfortable hearing a male scifi author talk about IVF & women's eggs being harvested.
Oh my god, there was some terrible questions from the public... None of the women guests actually impressed me either. The only two people that had a clear view of the bigger picture (untarnished by current social culture influences) were the two male guests. I really hope we can dramatically improve science education of the masses in the near future.
The AI researcher did give a nice answer for the singularity though.
I think your opinion of what is untarnished by current social culture influences just shows exactly what current social culture influences you have been influenced by. Claiming objectivity for something so obviously subjective can't be supported by logic. For the record, I have no specific position, I think all the panelists made good points that we should carefully consider.
jesus the women need to avoid talking about "power" because if they each decide to go at this topic with the college indoctrinated worry then there's ACTUALLY less diversity of thought approaching this topic. something they'd want to avoid.
...if you find love and you want to give birth...wouldnt it be so unworthy and respectless if you think that your partner or love is not good enough for your childs DNA?
What an evil person

Get a job Jimmy, you’ll feel better
good talk except for that SJW monologue
Vic Hussain if humans do not deal with social justice, we will NOT survive long as a species.
How did we ever get by without it?
"right" or "wrong" are opinions, social norms, therefore mutable. What will happen is different than what we "believe" will, or "wish" will happen. Technology will be deployed upon the paths of least resistance, with monetary inducement as the ultimate measure of fitness for purpose. By the same measures, cancer is the penultimate biological system in the human body. The acceptance of her passively commutative arguments is simply the zeitgeist of the era impinging on our ever-evolving moral constructs, acceptable, sometimes even constructive.
That was so laughably verbose and pretentious LOL. You're using a lot of words you clearly don't understand to say a whole not of nothing xD
