Taming the Wellness Monster
The wellness industry is… not doing too well. For how long can it keep up its supposed promise of self-fulfilment?
We are joined by Dr. Anders Sandberg, a research fellow at Future of Humanity Institute (Oxford University) where he studies the far future, with emphasis on the ethical and societal aspects related to human enhancement and emerging technologies. An unapologetic transhumanist and cryonics proponent, Sandberg has faith in technology’s ability to push human evolution towards a “postbiological existence”. Yet the future he envisions is not without its risks. Sandberg belives there are good reasons to be very careful about artificial intelligence, which could pose an existential threat to humanity.
