Transhumanist Predictions and the Human Predicament

This roundtable brings together perspectives from multiple disciplines to examine transhumanism—the prospect of using technologies such as genomics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, robotics, and prosthetics to enhance and transform human bodies and minds. It explores visions of radical life extension, digital forms of consciousness, and the idea of a technological “Singularity,” while also considering the broader scientific, philosophical, and cultural implications of moving beyond current conceptions of the human.
