Gary Johnson Wants Driverless Secret Service Cars and a US-Led Gene Editing Revolution
Posted by Zoltan Istvan in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, geopolitics, life extension, robotics/AI, transhumanism
My exclusive interview with Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson on some hard science & tech issues, including transhumanism, longevity, AI, and gene editing. This is also my first story for Futurism. For the record, I am trying, along with millions of others, to get Gary Johnson into the Presidentia l debates! No matter who you plan to vote for, it would be good for America to have him in the debates so a third voice is heard:
Libertarian Presidentia l candidate Gary Johnson wants humans to live a lot longer and isn’t worried about AI becoming the Terminator. Here, Futurist Zoltan Istvan gains an exclusive interview with Johnson, who is polling double digits nationally and hopes to be in the Presidentia l debates with Trump and Clinton in October.

AI for President
Posted by Zoltan Istvan in categories: engineering, geopolitics, robotics/AI, transhumanism
This is a comprehensive and critical write-up on some of my policies by some leading researchers and thinkers. It’s from the magazine website of the IEEE, the world’s largest professional organization devoted to engineering and the applied sciences. Naturally, people in the field of science and engineering are some of the most difficult to please, since they are such critical thinkers (which is precisely why I like them so much):
When a transhumanist runs for president, what does that mean for society?
Did you know…individual motors in each finger are positioned to optimise weight distribution – making the hand feel lighter and more comfortable.
