Tech Odyssey 2040 — The State of Humanity

This lecture will consider important questions that humanity is facing as technology and online existence play a larger role in our lives every passing day. Do we have any privacy left? Is cyberspace secure? How will AI, quantum computing, synthetic biology, gene editing, and the nano-sciences impact the lives of our children and grandchildren? Will human and machine intelligence merge? Tom Vartanian, a futurist and financial services expert, will unpack the biggest questions facing humanity and discuss the alternative paths before us. This lecture is drawn from Vartanian’s book, The Unhackable Internet.
