Juan Benet | Neurotech as a Protocol Labs Focus Area @ Paths to Progress

This video was recorded at ‘Paths to Progress’ at LabWeek hosted by Protocol Labs & Foresight Institute.
Protocol Labs and Foresight Institute are excited to invite you to apply to a 5-day mini workshop series to celebrate LabWeek, PL’s decentralized conference to further public goods. The theme of the series, Paths to Progress, is aimed at (re)-igniting long overdue progress in longevity bio, molecular nanotechnology, neurotechnology, crypto & AI, and space through emerging decentralized, open, and technology-enabled funding mechanisms.
This mini-workshop is focused on Paths to Progress in Neurotechnology
Ambitious and sometimes unconventional approaches to neurotechnology progress are rapidly emerging. At the same time, AGI timelines are rapidly shortening. This is why Foresight’s AI safety grants and fellowship have funded a subset of neurotech approaches that may provide a differential technology development approach to AGI. Let’s hear about progress to date, which open challenges could be taken on by emerging funding mechanisms such as lofi uploading prizes and grants, and which challenges may need softer field-building and community organizing.

About The Foresight Institute
The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1986 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support. From molecular nanotechnology, to brain-computer interfaces, space exploration, cryptocommerce, and AI, Foresight gathers leading minds to advance research and accelerate progress toward flourishing futures.
We are entirely funded by your donations. If you enjoy what we do please consider donating through our donation page: foresight.org/...
