Jim Al-Khalili introduces the technologies emerging from the second quantum revolution.

Thanks to modern tech, Earth is now considered a ‘detectable’ planet. Astrophysicist Sara Seager explains how this idea can lead us to discovering life elsewhere in our universe.

"The production of the silicon wafers that are used in the chip manufacturing process requires extraordinary levels of purity."

Chris Miller explains the hidden reason that global superpowers are obsessed with Taiwan.

"Rationalism is the idea that, in order to truly know something, you have to be able to describe it explicitly."

"The process of systematizing, correcting errors, finding approximations, and making them work as civil systems that was what really drove me to start looking at human calculation and what was the foundation that it laid for the modern computer age."

“The next revolution will be quantum computers that will make the digital computer look like an abacus.”

“The problem is in our information. Humans, yes, we are generally good and wise, but if you give good people bad information, they make bad decisions.”

“Until very recently, I thought I would die with the same genome that I was born with.”

“Old systems of the past are collapsing, and new systems of the future are still to be born. I call this moment the great progression.”

“What's really interesting about neural networks is the way that they think or the way that they operate is a lot like human intuition”

“Consciousness is fundamental. It's a fundamental property of the world that we inhabit, a fundamental property of the universe.”

"We're living in an extraordinary moment in history. We are at a moment here in 2025 where we have world historic game-changing technologies now starting to scale."

If the people controlling AI are biased, the output will also be. Free speech scholar Jacob Mchangama makes the case for completely open-source AI.

“All information technologies up to the 21st century were organic networks based on our organic brain.”

“An equation, perhaps no more than one inch long, that would allow us to, quote, 'Read the mind of God.'”

Today’s technologist archetypes share a blind spot. Brendan McCord, founder of the Cosmos Institute explains why “philosophy is essential” when building planetary-scale technology.

From the printing press to the internet, every technological revolution in history has reshaped human thought. Now, with AI accelerating by the day, philosopher Meghan Sullivan asks: Are we ready for the philosophical shift that must follow?

"You need to embrace these systems and try out what's going on because if you don't understand it, you really can't hope to help your organization adapt and stay in front of this momentous, world-changing technology."

"We're awash in lies and misinformation to a degree that was not possible before we got the internet and in particular before we got social media."

“I'm here to argue that AI is not going to cause a rise in unemployment. I think it's actually increased employment in the United States, not decreased it.”

“What happens if you incorporate an AI? It's now a legal person, and it can make decisions by itself. So you start having legal persons in the U.S., which are not human, and in many ways are more intelligent than us.”

Eric Siegel, Co-Founder & CEO, Gooder AI, argues machine learning (ML) projects go astray because their stakeholders focus too often on the technological fireworks — the “rocket science” of predictive models.

How can ancient philosophical wisdom guide us in ensuring that artificial intelligence enhances human flourishing rather than diminishing it?

Wharton professor Ethan Mollick explains why “co-intelligence may be the future of AI.

Journalist Steven Kotler on digital immortality and the tech that could keep us “alive,” forever.

“Forget about essences.” Philosopher Daniel Dennett on how modern-day philosophers should be more collaborative with scientists if they want to make revolutionary developments in their fields.

When one path is blocked, a new one must be paved. How Einstein, Heisenberg and Gödel used constraints to make life-changing discoveries:

The United States is the biggest risk in 2024. Here are the other 9, explained by Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media.

What if AI could tell us we have cancer before we show a single symptom? Steve Quake, head of science at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, explains how AI can revolutionize science.
