Humanity’s history is one of overcoming limitations and scarcity. There have been a few specific, massive unlocks where we found the key to augment our abilities with new technology or tools.

• We overcame food scarcity with agriculture and livestock farming, freeing us from the uncertainty of hunting and gathering.

• We overcame power scarcity, building new industrial machines to perform work we couldn’t dream of achieving.

• We overcame energy scarcity, drilling deep into the earth for condensed hydrocarbons and taming the atom, escaping the days of relying just on fire.

• We overcame computing scarcity, building machines that can perform trillions of calculations, and ushering us in the information age.

Today, we’re clearly living in one of these unique periods in history. We are now overcoming intelligence scarcity and opening the gates to an era of infinite intelligence. This is also happening at a time when we’re close to overcoming the other limitations of the human body, specifically its rapid decay and its slow and socially complex replicability.

AGI, Robotics and Biotechnology are advancing at such a pace that we are forced to consider the implications even if we lack the time and potentially the ability to understand them.

The Human Futures Summit is the place where we will try to make sense of it, and understand what it will mean to be human in the coming century and millennium.

It’s an invite-only day in London, where we’ll hear the most radical ideas we’ve encountered in the past months around what the future will be for humans.

You can expect topics around consciousness and brain uploading and merging, the post-AGI societal  social contract, what a world with no diseases would mean, the end of labor and if we are really bound for a multi-planetary humanity.

If, just like us, you can’t stop yourself from thinking about this every day, you will probably enjoy joining us. You can learn more on our new event website and apply for an invite here.
