In the coming century, the greatest threats to human survival may come from our
own technological developments. However, if we can safely navigate the
pitfalls, the benefits that technology promises are enormous. A philosopher, an
astronomer, and an entrepreneur have come together to form the Centre for the
Study of Existential Risk. The goal: to bring a fraction of humanity’s talent
to bear on the task of ensuring our long-term survival. In this lecture, Huw
Price, Martin Rees, and Jaan Tallinn with outline humanity’s greatest
challenge: surviving the 21st Century.
No registration is required.
There will be a drinks reception in the Alison Richard building following the
talk.

See you there!
Best wishes,
Jacob
