SPEAKER

Dr. nathan walworth and CEO of civicfeed, Nick Loui, discuss concepts of ethics surrounding different realms of exponential technologies from gene editing to artificial intelligence.

Neonosis Podcast // CLIMATE CHANGE

DR. NATHAN WALWORTH AND PODCAST HOST, JOSHUA FIELDS speak about what is actually going on with regards to climate change, where we’ve gone wrong with messaging, what’s coming next, and what interventions we could take to mitigate further damage.

Over the past decade, I have given keynotes and sat on panels at both domestic and international summits covering a range of topics from technical scientific initiatives like oceans, climate change, and genomics to exponential technologies and their implications including artificial intelligence and quantum computing. A full list is below.

A growing focus of mine has been to offer perspective and facilitate discussion centering on the impacts of our technological development on our collective evolutionary trajectory and our shifting relationships with ourselves, each other, and the environment. After mulling it over for a second, one realizes that these components are in fact one in the same. My talks reveal the mechanisms of these connections and its relation to our cultural fabric and development.

Depending on the scope of your event and a topic you would like to center on, I would be delighted to speak and contribute to it! Please inquire below :)
