Anders Sandberg
Neuroscientist and senior fellow at the Oxford University's Future of Humanity Institute.
“We are smart enough to realize that we are stupid, and stupid enough to make the problem of becoming smarter hard.”
Anders Sandberg is radical futurist determined to surpass the limitations of the human form. Going above and beyond his visionary research as a senior fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford, he is a self-described 'academic jack of all trades', co-founder of and writer for the think tank Eudoxa, and chaired the Swedish Transhumanist Association for 4 years.
An ardent transhumanist, Anders comes to the festival brimming with innovative ideas about the ethical and social implications of future technologies.
'He might just be the most interesting academic at Oxford' - Robert Wiblin and Keiran Harris.
