The H+ Summit, a two-day event that explores how humanity will be changed by technology in the near future will be held on June 12-13 at Harvard University. Speakers will explore the potential of technology to modify body, mind, life, and world -- chewing over the feasibility of redesigning the human condition and overcoming such constraints as the inevitability of aging, limitations on human and artificial intellects, unchosen psychology, lack of resources, and our confinement to the planet earth.
Speakers include Ray Kurzweil, Aubrey de Grey ("Hype and anti-hype in academic biogerontology research: a call to action"), Alex Lightman ("The Rise of Citizen-Scientists in the Eversmarter World"), David Orban ("Intelligence Augmentation, Decision Power, And The Emerging Data Sphere"), Heather Knight ("Why Robots Need to Spend More Time in the Limelight: People Tracking and Artificial Personality"), Michael Smolens ("Removing language as a barrier to cross cultural communication"), M. A. Greenstein ("Sparking our Neural Humanity with Neurotech!"), and Andrew Hessel ("Altered Carbon: The emerging biological diamond age"). Cost: $200
