Description

Welcome to the Foresight Institute’s podcast! Since 1986, Foresight has been advancing technologies for the long-term benefit of life and the biosphere. We focus on three areas: molecular machine nanotechnology for building better things, biotechnology for health extension, and computer science and crypto commerce for intelligent cooperation. This podcast is where we share a portion of our public work fitted for listening. We mix longer discussions with shorter bits, new episodes with all-time favorites. There is much more. To view presentations of our technical work and to stay up-to-date on new content, subscribe to Foresight Institute on YouTube and follow us on Twitter.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
