About James Cameron Avatar Commission

In celebration of Avatar: The Way of Water and the global “Keep Our Oceans Amazing” campaign, James Cameron and Disney commissioned renowned underwater photographer Christy Lee Rogers to create a collection of photographs celebrating our oceans. The artworks – featuring the film’s stars Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Kate Winslet – will help protect 10 of our ocean’s amazing animals and their habitats, connected to the beauty of Pandora, as 100% of net proceeds* from the art sales will go to The Nature Conservancy and help protect our oceans.
On her website, Rogers states, “Water is healing—it’s life itself. And as the provider of life—oxygen to all through tiny phytoplankton, our oceans need our care more than ever right now. It is a great honor to be able to help James Cameron, Jon Landau, and the ‘Avatar’ and Disney teams in realizing that dream of clean and protected world oceans—through the release of these images for The Nature Conservancy.”

Nick Bostrom is a Swedish-born philosopher with a background in theoretical physics, computational neuroscience, logic, and artificial intelligence, along with philosophy. He is known for his work on existential risk, the anthropic principle, human enhancement ethics, whole brain emulation, superintelligence risks, and the reversal test. 

Nick is a Professor at Oxford University, where he heads the Future of Humanity Institute as its Founding Director. He is also the author of more than 200 publications, including Anthropic Bias (2002), Global Catastrophic Risks (2008), Human Enhancement (2009), Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies (2014), which became a New York Times bestseller and sparked a global conversation about the future of AI, and Deep Utopia, Life and Meaning in a Solved World, Ideapress, 2024.

Nick’s work has pioneered some of the ideas that frame current thinking about humanity’s future: the simulation argument, the vulnerable world hypothesis, the unilateralist’s curse, to name a few.

Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World

In his latest book, "Deep Utopia: Life and Meaning in a Solved World," Nick Bostrom shifts the focus from the potential dangers of artificial intelligence explored in his previous work, "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies," to envisioning a future where AI development unfolds positively. 

As the conversation around AI continues to evolve, Bostrom probes the profound philosophical and spiritual implications of a world where superintelligence is safely developed, effectively governed, and utilised for the benefit of humanity.

In this hypothetical scenario of a "solved world," where human labour becomes obsolete due to advanced AI systems, Bostrom raises existential questions about the essence of human existence and the pursuit of meaning. With the advent of technologies capable of fulfilling practical needs and desires beyond human capabilities, society would enter a state of "post-instrumentality," where the traditional purposes of human endeavour are rendered obsolete.
