Allison Duettmann is the president and CEO of Foresight Insitute, a non-profit that’s focused on the beneficial development of high-impact technologies.
In this episode, Allison tells us about the history behind Foresight, and why it was started in the first place.
Then we talk about predicting progress: Is that even possible? Are we making enough progress? Too much? And what drives progress, anyways?
We also cover the opportunities of interdisciplinary collaboration to solve humanity’s biggest problems – and the difficulties that researchers encounter when attempting this.
Allison also tells us her personal opinion on what the biggest opportunities and risks that are facing humanity are.
