Kim Solez Future Day goes global How coming Singularity will play out in Glob...Kim Solez ,
The document discusses the increasing integration of technology into human lives through social networks and personal electronics. It argues that fully embracing this technological revolution in education and culture can be beneficial for learning and growth. It also covers topics like the technological singularity, challenges of biotechnology, and the potential future focuses of medicine on enhancement rather than just disease. Throughout, it emphasizes viewing technology and its impacts optimistically while incorporating diverse views into discussions.
The document discusses themes from Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, including the role of technology and science in manipulating and controlling humans. It explores how the World State uses conditioning and social engineering to achieve stability and how this impacts human dignity. While technology builds the World State's utopian vision, the document argues that excessive technological development will instead bring tragedy and destroy human individuality.

Dave Briggs - Engaging School Governors OnlineElaine Walton
Governors can more easily engage with schools online through improved internet access and computing. This document discusses how school governors can connect with communities by finding and creating online spaces, listening to discussions, and utilizing existing online tools and platforms. Ignoring the digital revolution risks becoming disconnected, so seeking advice from experts can help governors effectively engage with schools online.
Technology plays a large role in modern daily life according to the document. It discusses how technology has led to increased globalization and connectivity through social networks and communication technologies. However, the document also notes that overreliance on technology risks distracting from real-world interactions and experiences. It quotes Einstein as saying "our technology has exceeded our humanity." The document examines both the benefits of technology in connecting people worldwide, as well as some of the potential downsides of becoming too engrossed in the virtual world.
technology is largely misused to destroy the worldMAzeemAli
The document discusses how technology can be largely misused to cause destruction in the world. It provides examples of how nuclear weapons used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused massive loss of life. It also discusses how drone attacks in Pakistan from 2005-2016 resulted in over 2,800 deaths. The document argues that while technology itself is not terrible, it can be misused through activities like cybercrime, hacking, theft, and suicide bombings/hydrogen bombs. It also suggests technology is negatively impacting literacy skills and replacing jobs. The conclusion is that while technology has become necessary, the advancements are ultimately detrimental to life on Earth if misused.
Transhumanism & Education - Kevin Jain - H+ Summit @ HarvardHumanity Plus
Kevin Jain
Transhumanism & Education
In reviewing the curricula of various Universities, one will find few, if any, classes that meaningfully consider the increasing assimilation of technology with the human. If an education predicated on assumptions of human nature is made without a meaningful consideration of transhumanism, can it remain relevant in a future where technology may render false these very assumptions? How can the question of human enhancement be introduced as a topic of more widespread academic deliberation? This talk will also discuss current efforts in this arena.
Kevin Jain is an undergraduate at Harvard University, and is Founder and President of the Harvard College Future Society, a student organization interested in evaluating the impact of future technologies on the human and humanity. He is the Student H+ Summit Coordinator, and helped organize the H+ 2010 Summit at Harvard. He plans to graduate with a special concentration in Transhumanism.
The document discusses the opportunities presented by virtual worlds. It argues that virtual worlds allow for better sociability, visualization, and dynamics compared to the real world. Specifically, they improve communications, social connections, navigation, sense-making, coordination, engagement, and understanding of opportunities. The document also discusses how virtual worlds will diversify in the future across dimensions like purpose, interface, user interaction, content production, fictional/non-fictional nature, connection to real space, and experience location. Finally, it outlines innovation skills and abilities like mobality, influency, and emergensight that are emerging from virtual worlds and can benefit the real world.

The document discusses how platforms like Google and Facebook can influence users' perceptions through algorithms and emotional contagion. It notes that an experiment by Facebook showed how emotions can spread between users without direct interaction. The author argues that freedom depends not just on what we can do online, but also what we know about how platforms work and how their algorithms filter information. Awareness of these algorithms and their effects is important for users to be well-informed in the "info-sphere".
The document discusses the role of technology in daily life and society. It explores both the benefits of technology, such as improved communication on a global scale, as well as the potential negatives, like how technology can distract from real-world interactions. Some key quotes note that technology has exceeded our humanity, and too much of anything is not good. The role of social networks in modern life is also examined.
Edward Andersson, Deputy Director of Involve, reflects on where engagement is heading in a time of Localism and Austerity, looks at creative methods of engagement and gives advice on when and how they should be used.

Here Comes Everybody & Cognitive Surplus ReviewKristenstan
This document summarizes and analyzes two books by Clay Shirky: Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations (2008) and Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age (2010). Shirky studies how the internet impacts society. The books discuss how new tools enabled by the internet lower transaction costs and allow groups to form more easily. Shirky also explores how social media can harness unused cognitive surplus or free time from the public for creative and civic purposes.
Notes for my closing keynote to the June 1, 2017 virtual conference on digital literacy and fake news.
http://www.library20.com/page/library-2-017-digital-literacy-fake-news
The document announces an event called "Contact" on October 20, 2011 that will bring together technology innovators, social change agents, and artists to discuss how emerging technologies can be used to create a better world and accelerate positive social change through open collaboration, peer-to-peer networks, and other approaches representing a "new paradigm." The day-long event will include keynote talks and workshops led by audience members to spark new ideas, opportunities to meet with experts and organizations, and an "Ideas Bazaar" where projects can be proposed and developed.
Collectiveactionandchallengesofsocialchange revised dec 18Ray Brannon
The document discusses theories of collective action and volunteerism in the United States. According to convergence theory, collective action occurs when people with similar ideas gather in the same place. Emergent norm theory emphasizes the influence of leaders in promoting norms that group members then follow. While Americans have traditionally had high volunteer participation, it seems to have declined somewhat with the rise of the Internet, as people can now join groups and donate online without face-to-face interaction.
The Impact of Social Media on Society and DemocracyKathryn Corrick
These are the slides for a talk I gave to The Foundation of Science & Technology at the Royal Society, London on the 11 July 2012, as part of a wider panel discussion with Julian Huppert MP and Mike Lynch of Autonomy. The UK government's Data Communication Bill gave a backdrop and context to the evening.
Collective action involves collaborative efforts in groups that diverge from social norms. There are two main theories of collective action. Convergence theory holds that collective action occurs when people with similar ideas gather in one place. Emergent norm theory emphasizes the influence of leaders in promoting new norms that group members then follow. The passage also notes that while Americans have traditionally had high levels of volunteerism, it seems to have declined somewhat with the rise of the internet, as people can now join groups and donate online without face-to-face interaction.
The Scary Monsters of Ed Tech: Future Proof or Future Shock?Mark Brown
The document discusses future predictions about education technology and outlines different perspectives on its role. It begins by reviewing past predictions that did not fully materialize. It then examines competing worldviews around education's role in either a knowledge economy or knowledge society. The document concludes by considering what types of education futures should be envisioned to promote critical thinking skills and active citizenship.
Friesem new caje 2013 advaced presenatation Yonty Friesem
The document discusses implementing technology in the classroom and how it can transform both how humanists think and how their disciplines are configured, with the database becoming the principal site of work. It also outlines a model for digital literacy curriculum design that incorporates standards, instructional strategies, assessment, content, tasks/activities, and considers the learner, community, context, and purpose.
The document introduces the Verge framework, originally intended as an alternative to STEEP for environmental scanning. Verge has six domains: Define, Relate, Connect, Create, Consume, Destroy. It provides a general practice framework for futures work, used in scanning, forecasting, analysis. The domains can be combined with other frameworks like layered analysis or three horizons to structure exploration of trends, issues, implications across different levels of change over time. An example applies the framework to analyze possible futures of governance.
This document discusses how literacy is changing in a new media world, with literacy now encompassing functional, critical, social, new, and multi-modal forms. It explores how new literacies are more collaborative, distributed, and participatory. Examples of new literacy tools and practices discussed include blogs, wikis, citizen journalism, social media, and how these tools can both develop media literacy but also spread unverified information. The document concludes that educators need to help students navigate these changes and develop new literacy skills for engaging with online media.
Sustainable development involves balancing environmental, economic, and social factors. Electronic waste, or e-waste, refers to discarded electronic devices and includes old computers and phones. Most e-waste comes from developed countries like the US and is shipped to less developed nations for improper disposal, where it piles up in cities and dumps, causing negative environmental and health impacts.
Library Development Council Citizen CentricJohnCr8on
The document discusses how society is shifting from an institution-centric model to a citizen-centric one due to changes in technology and infrastructure. Three key points:
1) New technologies have increased options and independence for individuals, challenging the traditional limits and control of large institutions.
2) Emerging public attitudes now value choice, self-determination, and participation in communities of interest over limited options and experts deciding for them.
3) Existing institutions must adapt to remain relevant by focusing on solving problems people actually face and supporting individual visions, rather than operating within strict boundaries of time, place and predefined services.
Rethinking Teaching & Learning in a Networked RealityAlec Couros
This document discusses rethinking teaching and learning in a networked reality. It covers topics like informal learning, access to information through search and mobile computing, participatory media, digital video skills, social networking, and network literacies being important in the 21st century. Challenges of participatory culture are mentioned, along with examples of how education could embrace a networked approach through things like transparent classroom walls, publishing in the open, and connecting students to experts from around the world. The document advocates shifting education to be more open, public, and student-driven where learners create their own education.

Do you tell your customers what you want them to hear without first considering if they actually care about what you are saying? If you do, you're not alone. As brand leaders, we are our own biggest cheerleaders and often expect our enthusiasm to be contagious, regardless of whether our audience understands us. As communications professionals, it is our job to create connections, and the strongest connections are made when we take the time to get to know our customers on a deep, personal level.
In this session you will learn how to gain a deeper understanding of your customers and create a brand experience they will care about.

Kim Solez Singularity explained promoted winter 2015Kim Solez ,
The document discusses the concept of the technological singularity, which refers to the hypothetical future emergence of artificial superintelligence that greatly surpasses human intellectual abilities. It provides an overview of the main ideas, including the three schools of belief about the singularity (accelerating change, event horizon, intelligence explosion). It also discusses the four main paths to the singularity, including creating an AI that exceeds human intelligence. The document summarizes the history of ideas around the singularity concept from the 1800s onward and perspectives from thinkers like Kurzweil and Hutter on whether the singularity is negotiable or inevitable.

Kim Solez Introduction to Tech&Future of Medicine course 8 Jan 2013Kim Solez ,
The technological singularity occurs when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and rapidly improves itself in a self-reinforcing cycle. As machines become smarter than humans, they take over technological development, advancing at an exponential pace that is difficult for humans to comprehend or predict. Each new generation of AI appears faster than the previous one. From this point on, the future is determined by machines rather than humans.
Kim Solez Future Day Goes Global Edmonton WHO 2015Kim Solez ,
The document discusses several topics related to global health challenges and future technologies. It notes that over 66% of the global disease burden is made up of chronic non-communicable diseases. It also mentions lifestyle risk factors like smoking, obesity, and inactivity that contribute to these diseases. The document then states that diseases can lead to organ failure, but transplanted organs are only available for less than 10% of people who need them. However, it suggests that new technologies involving stem cells, bioartificial organs, and xenotransplantation could help treat 10-100 times more people compared to transplantation alone. The rate of technological advancement is described as exponential.

The Banff Classification of Kidney Transplant Pathology began in 1991 and has become the worldwide standard for interpreting transplant biopsies. It originated from consensus meetings held every two years in Banff, Alberta to establish histologic criteria for diagnosing rejection and other transplant conditions. The classification has expanded over time and been integrated with other specialty societies. It has had a significant scientific impact as evidenced by high citation rates. The Banff Foundation was established in 2013 to continue developing the classification through working groups and consensus-building. The course aims to keep the Banff process and classification relevant as new technologies like stem cell organ engineering emerge.
Implementing New Technologies And Innovative IdeasChristina Berger
This document proposes introducing a new idea about race to college students. It begins with an introduction stating that college often exposes students to new, radical ideas different from what they learned at home. The author provides a personal anecdote about how his father emphasized the importance of concepts like honor, family, education and class to people of their race. The proposal aims to get students to think critically about preconceived notions of race.
As children we learn how to share with others and in the words of Darwin "In the long history of humankind (and animal kind too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed". Through the ubiquitous adoption of the internet there has been an exponential growth of information shared. The use of digital technologies such as social networking tools and smart devices have enabled individuals to connect, communicate, curate, collaborate and create. An array of user-generated multimedia artefacts are now shared that can be discussed, debated and critiqued. As educators it is through knowledge sharing and socially mediated interactions that we can make a difference. However it is not simply the giving or receiving of information, but about the new co-learning opportunities we can make (Rheingold); the ability to develop new capacities for action and change (Grey); and how we create knowledge and leverage it (Wenger). My keynote presentation will consider the concept of shareology and connectedness through social media and the value of working out loud.
This document outlines the Global Action Project at MICDS high school, which aims to teach students how to create social entrepreneurship projects to effect sustainable change in the world. Students research current social problems and evaluate organizations addressing them. They then design their own social entrepreneurship idea to address a problem, considering sustainability, anticipated challenges, and how to convince others of the project. Students document their research and planning process. The final project involves creating a documentary and presentation to pitch their proposed social entrepreneurship idea to a panel. The goal is for students to develop skills like critical thinking, collaboration, communication and more to become agents of positive change.

This document discusses the history and importance of tubulitis as a marker for acute T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) in kidney transplant biopsies. It notes that Kim Solez first described tubulitis in 1985 in biopsies from a cyclosporine-treated protocol study. Tubulitis was later recognized as a crucial finding in the original 1993 Banff Classification article. The specificity of tubulitis for acute TCMR has made it a long-standing focus of morphometric analysis and machine learning in digital pathology. The success of identifying tubulitis has led to its continued importance in evaluating rejection over decades of clinical trials and transplant pathology practice.

The document discusses countering the idea of "AGI ruin", where artificial general intelligence makes humans obsolete. It suggests that instead of ruin, AGI could lead to unprecedented global cooperation that improves humanity. The best way for beneficial, cooperation-enabling ideas from AI to emerge is through a new type of large language model that possesses a true understanding of the world. Such an AI invention could win a Nobel Peace Prize if it helps increase human cooperation and avoids the lethal outcomes feared by some in the AI safety community.

The document discusses the potential outcomes of artificial general intelligence (AGI), including Eliezer Yudkowsky's idea of "AGI ruin" where humans become obsolete. However, AGI could also lead to greater global cooperation that improves humanity. The best way for AI to generate ideas to help human cooperation would be through large language models that have a true understanding of the world. This could help avoid the worst outcomes of AGI and instead create a more positive future of improved human cooperation.

3. The last decade has brought a profound change in
the way we humans interact. Our imagined future of
merger between human and electronic interface has
crept into our lives; social networks, adept at
instantaneous byte-sized communications, now
permeate the younger generations. There is still a
chasm between hard-Transhumanism, and this soft-
Transhumanism, defined by our interactions with
personal electronics, but there is no sign of these
interactions abating. Fully embracing this
technological revolution, within the University
classroom and beyond, is beneficial to the learning
experience and to our cultural growth as human
beings.– Ross Lockwood HI-SEAS sMars mission May 4, 2014!

5. The technological singularity occurs as artificial
intelligences surpass human beings as the smartest
and most capable life forms on the Earth.
Technological development is taken over by the
machines, who can think, act and communicate so
quickly that normal humans cannot even comprehend
what is going on. The machines enter into a "runaway
reaction" of self-improvement cycles, with each new
generation of A.I.s appearing faster and faster. From
this point onwards, technological advancement is
explosive, under the control of the machines, and
thus cannot be accurately predicted (hence the term
"Singularity"). – Ray Kurzweil

16. Philippe van Nedervelde (7/12/13) ”H+ers are a
*particularly* fractious lot. Building an *effective*
alliance of highly opinionated hyper-individualists
many of which lack critical elementary social
skills — hey there Aspie brothers! — is actually
far more challenging than herding cats. In
comparison, cats still seem positively herd-able.
So, let's all support each other morally and
nominally, sure. But we probably should abandon
the naive delusions that transhumanists are
capable of working together effectively. Certainly
not in groups over a significant size. ”

Transhumanism as fact, not fiction.
