Forum EPFL 2021 | Futurists Calum Chace And Gerd Leonhard Debate (Audio-version only‪)‬ Audio-only versions of Futurist Gerd Leonhard's keynotes

Futurist Gerd Leonhard was invited by FORUM EPFL 2021 https://www.forum-epfl.ch/en/, to stage this virtual debate between him (NOT a transhumanist:) and his colleague Calum Chace (science fiction writer, keynote speaker, futurist and transhumanist see https://www.calum-chace.com/about/ ). Each presented for approx. 15 minutes and then debated each other and took questions from the audience. There are a lot of good morsels here!

Topics:
- what is transhumanism (and why it's a good idea, or not)
- are organisms just fancy algorithms (my clear answer: No)
- the future of artificial intelligence
- longevity and 'the end of mortality'
