Dr. Natasha Vita-More, a Professor at UAT, Executive Director at Humanity+, Inc., Author, and Co-Editor: The Transhumanist Reader, a Lead Science Researcher: Memory Project from the United States, and a design producer whose works concern the science, technology, and social implications on humanity and our future participates in Risk Roundup to discuss – Technology Trends and Future of Humanity.
Technology Trends and the Future of Humanity
From Artificial Intelligence to Robotics, Blockchain to Cryptocurrencies, Internet to Brain Net, Virtual Reality to Augmented Reality, Internet of Things to Internet of Everything, Autonomous Vehicles to Smart Vehicles, CRISPR technology to Brain Mapping, Gene Editing to Stem cell Therapies, Drones to Flying Cars, Nanotechnology to Biotechnology, 3D Printing to Molecular Manufacturing; when we face fundamental transformation from such broad range of existing and emerging technologies, it is important to understand and evaluate whether these technology trends will fundamentally challenge our very idea about what it means to be a human.
A discussion about the technology trends is to predict the future of humanity. It is about understanding how the technology trends, disruption and the associated transformation impact the human condition—human survival, sustainability, and security in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).
So, as we stand upon the precipice of change and prepare for the inevitable transformation of the human ecosystem, a discussion focused on the “Technology Trends and Future of Humanity” is necessary to understand how technology trends will impact humanity in the coming years.
It is important that we evaluate this further:
- Technology Trends
- Changing Human ecosystem
- Preparedness
Technology Trends and the Future of Humanity
It seems that we humans have reached a point where we do not need to rely on what nature must offer to address humanity’s most pressing calamities. Having said that, developing technologies is only one thing, it’s what we do with it that matters for humanity. Time is now to talk about “Technology Trends and Future of Humanity”!

She has received recognition for the whole-body prototype that synthesizes nanotech, biotech, robotics, and AI, her scientific breakthrough of long-term memory, and her innovative concept of Regenerative Education.
Wired magazine called Natasha an “early adopter of revolutionary ideas” and Village Voice claimed she is “a role model for super longevity”. Having been published in numerous academic journals, such as Rejunivative Research, Metaverse Creativity and Technoetic Arts – A Journal of Speculative Research, New Realities: Being Syncretic, Beyond Darwin, and D’ARS. Vita-More is also a contributing author to chapters of the books AI Society, Anticipating 2025, Intelligence Unbound.
Her own book (below) is published by the renowned Wiley Blackwell Publishing. Vita-More received Special Recognition at Women in Video and has exhibited at the London Contemporary Art Museum, Niet Normaal, and the Moscow Film Festival. She is most known for having designed the pioneering whole body prototype known as “Platform Diverse Body” (f/k/a Primo Posthuman) and the networked identity “Substrate Autonomous Identity”. With a background as an immersive designer in multi-media, her work focuses on science, technology, and philosophy.
Her current work includes scientific research on the memory of C. Elegans nematode after vitrification. Featured in LA Weekly, The New York Times, and U.S. News & World Report, Vita-More has appeared in over two dozen televised documentaries on the future, including PBS, BBC, TLC, ABC, NBC, and CBS. Dr. Vita-More is a professor at the University of Advancing Technology, Chairman of Humanity+, and a Fellow at the Institute for Ethics & Emerging Technologies.
Natasha Vita-More, Ph.D., is a frequent guest speaker on topics concerning the future and technology. Her practice unpacks the technology, science, and design of human enhancement and radical life extension. She is a professor at the University of Advancing Technology, a reviewer for graduate students, and best known for creating the future human prototype “Primo Posthuman”.
Her writings have been published in numerous books, including The Transhumanist Reader, and she has appeared in more than twenty-four televised documentaries and featured in magazines including The New York Times, Wired, Village Voice, Flaunt, Harper’s Bazaar, U.S. News & World Report, Net Business, and Teleopolis. Natasha is on the Steering Committee of the RAADFest, a Fellow at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, and a Fellow at Hybrid Reality Institute.
