Event Descriptions:

For most people the XXI century seems to be the beginning of an Age of Prosperity. Humanity is entering an era of massive global changes, connected with the development of exponential technologies, which bring their influence to all spheres of science and technology. Over past 15 years there have been more more scientific discoveries than over the previous Millennium. Exponential technologies are defined by an exponential growth curve and promise to lead to a radical transformation of the world order in the not too distant future.

The main topic of the Exponential Future Symposium is the development of exponential technologies (especially AI and Anti-Aging technologies), and the associated rewards and risks — including potential existential risks.

The consequences of scientific progress are unpredictable and can carry both positive and negative impact. The appearance of new technologies changes social, political and economic situation and, for instance, can cause global unemployment and disappearance of familiar social dynamics. None of us can know what is to come, but we can work together to maximize the odds of a future that is beneficial for humans and other sentient beings.
