Charles Ostman(1), senior fellow at the Institute for Global Futures, discussed Synthetic Biology-- how and why it is being developed.
The world needs a solution or toolbox for an enterprise of synthetic technology to replace the traditional method of creating items such as drugs, that is complex and expensive, for children in poorer worlds, he argued. A "micro" being could do this for a fraction of the cost, Ostman suggested. We are already living in a world full of non-human intelligence with computers and automated technology talking together to do the complex tasks of today, he added.
Ostman also spoke of his future map constructions, disaster studies and the threat of nuclear war. He said his main worries are not North Korea, but an alliance between Iran and Pakistan.
