Workshop on longevity

In this satellite workshop, we will discuss steps to implement Open Longevity GPT: When? Why (also to diminish existential risks)? How much (will it cost and will it spare?) How to include more data (articles, clinical trial, health data)? How to share faster and better? How can you help?

Futures for the brain and mind

Recent progress in neuroscience puts us on a clear timeline towards cognitive enhancements and whole-brain emulation. We consider the ways in which these technologies are changing our ways of interacting with the world, and how we can manage this change.

Physical rejuvenation and beyond

Extension of human health- and lifespan is within reach, and to some degree already possible today. With the scale and pace of improvements in healthy human longevity continuing to grow exponentially, we look ahead at what these longevity interventions might be and how they could be made available equitably and ethically.

Several themes will be discussed in-depth in small groups. All participants are encouraged to brainstorm together and share their thoughts. At the end of the session, each table host gives a quick report of the discussions.
