Anders Sandberg on the Cryonics vs. Mind-Uploading

Beyond 2030: Anders Sandberg on the Radical Ethical Challenges Created By Mind Uploading

In "2030: Beyond the Film" Director Johnny Boston discusses the futurist FM-2030, the Coronavirus Pandemic, and a range of urgent issues in the medical, philosophical, longevity & futurist space with leading voices.

In this episode, Boston talks with researcher and futurist Anders Sandberg about the recent debate in futurology circles between Cryonics and Mind-Uploading advocates - and the radical implications of both approaches.

About Anders Sandberg (Via Wikipedia):
Anders Sandberg (born 11 July 1972) is a researcher, science debater, futurist, transhumanist and author. He holds a Ph.D. in computational neuroscience from Stockholm University, and is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University.

Sandberg's research centers on societal and ethical issues surrounding human enhancement and new technology, as well as on assessing the capabilities and underlying science of future technologies. His research includes work on cognitive enhancement[2] (methods, impacts, and policy analysis); a technical roadmap on whole brain emulation; on neuroethics; and on global catastrophic risks, particularly on the question of how to take into account the subjective uncertainty in risk estimates of low-likelihood, high-consequence risk.

About 2030 the film:
Johnny Boston was 10 years old when he first met FM-2030, a futurist who intended to live forever. But in 2000, after his body ceased to function, FM was cryonically preserved. 16 years later, an unexpected call places FM's future in Johnny's hands.
