Open Source Futures #7: Technology


Listen Later

The last in the series of the STEEP buckets.

I discuss:

  • As a shorthand, I look at technology through digital, engineering and bio/health

  • Quantum computers for simulations and materials science

  • AI as contributing to inequality

  • Extended Reality as the next area of computing platform

  • Looking at cancers as an annoyance

  • Management of chronic conditions

  • Future treatment of dementias

  • The varios -omics - genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomes, proteomics...

  • Nuclear fusion as part of the energy system

  • DARPA - as contributing to innovations in the past - GPS, the Internet, and more recently, driverless cars, mRNA vaccines, Boston Dynamics' robots.

  • Marianna Mazzucato - the state as the lead player in creating innovations.

I would have loved to cover synthetic biology, but maybe next time.
