In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Dana Klisanin, a psychologist, futurist, and author. They discuss coping mechanisms for existential risk worries and events, including engaging in rewilding experiences, sensory exploration, etc. This is part of Futurized's focus on the takeaways from the third annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference and the collection of papers now issued as conference Proceedings. The past two decades have seen anthropogenic global catastrophic and existential risks (x-risks) develop into an increasingly prominent source of academic study, policy focus, and public concern. The proceedings of the third annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference present a diverse array of research by both established and emerging scholars on the past, present, and future of x-risk studies. Some papers sum up the fruits of existing approaches to existential risks, while others address their blind spots or propose potential directions for the future of x-risk studies. Papers vary both by topic—ranging from nuclear risks, biosecurity, ecological collapse, and artificial intelligence and machine learning risks—and by disciplinary approach, featuring works of history, ethics, aesthetics, psychology, political science, sociology, and policy study. Many papers share a common thread in recognizing the importance of cascading risks—particularly potential interactions among acknowledged x-risks, or how cascades of “merely'' catastrophic risks could combine to jeopardize human survival. Collectively, they contribute to the task of expanding the field of x-risk studies to encompass insights, methods, and ethical orientations drawn from a more diverse and broadly representative range of academic disciplines.

In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Ken Stanley, CEO & founder of Maven, a new online social network focused on following interests, not people. Stanley is the author of Why Greatness Cannot be Planned (Springer, 2015). They discuss Stanley's work on open-ended AI algorithms and how they can foster and enhance desirable serendipity. Open-ended systems try to mimic the single run of an algorithm represented by the biological evolution, as well as the evolution of civilization. For now, AI can create useful output based on human prompts or previously collected data. However, if AI truly could be creative at the human level, what then?

In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Mathieu Johnsson, CEO & founder of Marble, a drone startup specializing in marine drone monitoring. They discuss the the implications of wanting to monitor the maritime domain, which is vast and complex, covering approximately 70% of the earth’s surface. This is actualized by the desire to protect the ocean by 2030 using the High Seas Treaty (2023). During the discussion, they touch on the size of the drone market now and emerging trends, including the need for drone regulations. They also discuss both the opportunities and limitations of current drone technologies and products, including the proepect of getting real time view of the entire planet just in the next few decades with unmanned surface robot aircraft carriers, drones, and satellites at all altitudes.

In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Jason Paragas, CEO and founder of the startup DVLP about the prospect of blockchain-based drug development. They discuss Paragas's work on digitizing biotech, making drug development more effective, and securing its use for the common good. His main point is that although drug development has been optimized for discovery, and is getting even better through AI, we have not optimized neither on clinical trials nor on manufacturing. We might not be able to speed up biology, but we can definitely speed up institutional quality control processes. This is especially relevant as drug development moves from mass production to mass customization.

In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Elizabeth Seger, Ph.D., the Director of CASM, Demos’ digital policy research hub. DEMOS is a cross-party political think tank in London, UK. Seger is also a research affiliate with The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) at the University of Cambridge. They discuss Seger's work on epistemic security, epistemic security thresholds, whether frontier AI should be released to the public, and possible negative consequenses of the securitization of knowledge. This is part of Futurized's focus on the takeaways from the third annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference and the collection of papers now issued as conference Proceedings. The past two decades have seen anthropogenic global catastrophic and existential risks (x-risks) develop into an increasingly prominent source of academic study, policy focus, and public concern. The proceedings of the third annual Stanford Existential Risks Conference present a diverse array of research by both established and emerging scholars on the past, present, and future of x-risk studies. Some papers sum up the fruits of existing approaches to existential risks, while others address their blind spots or propose potential directions for the future of x-risk studies. Papers vary both by topic—ranging from nuclear risks, biosecurity, ecological collapse, and artificial intelligence and machine learning risks—and by disciplinary approach, featuring works of history, ethics, aesthetics, psychology, political science, sociology, and policy study. Many papers share a common thread in recognizing the importance of cascading risks—particularly potential interactions among acknowledged x-risks, or how cascades of “merely'' catastrophic risks could combine to jeopardize human survival. Collectively, they contribute to the task of expanding the field of x-risk studies to encompass insights, methods, and ethical orientations drawn from a more diverse and broadly representative range of academic disciplines. Futurized goes beneath the trends to track the underlying forces of disruption in tech, policy, business models, social dynamics and the environment.

In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews philosopher Emile Torres. They discuss the current controversies surrounding existential risk, including whether we should prioritize safeguarding the very long term over contemporary challenges.
