Forging the Future: AI, Immortality and Genetic Engineering

Welcome to the near future. A time when man and machine become one and imagination becomes the only limit to science.

00:00 Cyborg Revolution

We’ve all seen Cyborgs in Hollywood blockbusters. But it turns out these fictional beings aren’t so far-fetched. In fact, this episode features a true-to-life cyborg, who at four months of age, was the youngest American to be outfitted with a myoelectric hand. And at one ground-breaking engineering facility, engineers are developing biotechnologies that can even further enhance high-tech like this by giving mechanical prosthetics something incredible: the physical sensation of touch!

46:54 Hyper Intelligence

Everyone has heard about Artificial Intelligence (or AI), but very few people know what it is or how it actually works. This episode brings this otherwise abstract topic to life by visiting the most cutting-edge engineering firms where innovative technologists are using AI to transform machines into thinking robots.

01:35:54 Human Immortality

If you thought Human Immortality was just a concept in science fiction, this episode reveals how it will become science fact. For some scientists featured in this program, achieving Immortality is not a question of ‘If’. The real question is ‘When?’.

02:19:25 Life Off Earth

If you thought The Space Race peaked with the Apollo missions, wait until permanent research bases on the Moon and Mars start cropping up.
The New Space Race to get humans to Mars is heating up, and this episode presents the visionaries who are making this future possible. Once exclusively financed by governments, private companies are now developing the means of living in outer space.
On the cutting edge of this Copernican Revolution is the Dream Chaser—a new, high-flying space shuttle that will ferry researchers to inflatable research habitats in outer space. But creating permanent habitats in the toxic environments on the Moon and Mars is a serious undertaking. Scientists and engineers take these threats to human life very seriously. One engineer is creating advanced, reusable spacesuits that makes mobility and dexterity less bulky, and more feasible in gravity-free environments.

03:06:15 Disease-Free World: The Microbiome

To create a disease-free world, scientists are pushing the envelope in every conceivable corner. This episode features the most cutting-edge scientists out there—including Nobel-prize winners—who are harnessing the power of what’s called “The Microbiome.”
The Microbiome is the full array of the trillions of microorganisms that live in or on the human body, which help it function. By understanding the Microbiome as a kind of ecosystem, scientists are using innovative techniques to discern the microbes’ various functions in the body as a whole.

03:52:32 The Rise of Genetic Engineering

Genetic Engineering extends far beyond the controversial news headlines that obsess over ‘designer babies’. In the science community, gene-editing tools like CRISPR and PRIME editing will do nothing less than save the planet.
Methods like this allow scientists to alter and ‘re-program’ the genetics of living organisms.
This episode shows scientists at large using gene-editing technologies to revolutionize the food supply chain, bolstering food crops to prevent famines, and even speed up reforestation efforts that will reverse global warming. Genetic Engineering in farm animals is helping scientists to ‘select’ desirable traits, like physical features and gender. Incredibly, one scientist is using gene-editing technologies to resurrect the DNA of extinct species, like the Wooly Mammoth!

More important is quality of living not length, I mean vitality and capabilitie

[Romanasian]

Amazing future, such an exciting time !

[prashantvanave]

This guy's are awesome

Love you all❤

[molugusatyapriya]

The rise of artificial intelligence raises both exciting opportunities and ethical considerations, as we navigate its impact on jobs, privacy, and societal norms.

[ChristopherDwiggins]

Yeah a.i. chip for processing and storage in the brain n slowly tweeking other things, that would be awesome.

[queenmermaid]

Thxs for the great informative video, I personally am for AI Tech if it is for the betterment of society but not to be in scrupulous evil ways

[spectrumofreality]

This girl with the bionic arm is super cute!

[guldenaydin]

🌚
I hope there is no “dark side of the moon”…

[jhunnjr.]

I think This things may work accurate when use to lie detector test for crime investigation, right or not?

[OnesimusX]

How does gene editing for better food production effects the microbial ecosystems?

[jhunnjr.]

how accurate? what if mind/brain think so wild?

[ßœūøßś]

Сначала пол меняют, теперь в голову, что то засовывают 😂

[chrissmith]

It's all fun till you get hacked. Forced to kill someone and sent to life in prison.

[maxdecleyn]

"make tech that enhance our capabilities" this is a big insult to the architect of this reality.
People are nowhere near to even come close to the complexity in nature.
oblivious to the fact you're already operating (biological) technology; most abuse their body beyond repair.
without respect, continue their ways and hope for a quick fix... First learn how to operate your own tech, I would suggest...

[murielpaslard]

Ship under the skin to pay has no other purpose that helping new order! When it’s medical purpose it is completely different as it is restoring losses of natural abilities.

[Revelation-]

This is leading to the mark of the beast of Revelation. Avoid at all costs.

[BrianOscar-ojxd]

Adam and Eve ate the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, but pride of Men will lead this knowledge to do evil and disable human into activities that LORD made us for.
Opportunities of human in jobs section will be lost when these robots things be seen very much important than humans..
MAY THE LORD KEEP US SAFE FROM ALL LIES AND DECEPTION THAT COMES AS SOMETHING GOOD

[hanskurtmann]

This show ONLY show tech from the US and Not from Asia like Japan or China or even the EU etc. Japan is well known to be 10-20yrs advanced in technology with China also far ahead. To be fair most of their technology is super secret. But showing only tech in the US is very biased and implies arrogance or superiority that the US is the most advanced in the world, which is known worldwide NOT to be true. The US is well known to have the best weapons technology, but that is not a really good thing to be known for.

The US will always new technology and no matter what country invented it will use for military use 1st. This is an indisputable fact. DARPA says it all. Remember radar, sonar, GPS, fly by wire, remote control and or the internet itself etc were all made for and 1st used by the military. Look at what drones are used for today, they kill more than they save. Everything is this video will be 100% be used in a weapon or in the military 1st. 😆

[Skeptic-Professor]

They really left Elon Musk out? Who has already implanted and could enable quadriplegic to walk 🤦🏻‍♀️

[seriousros]

Currently it seems, humans would have to curtail their spontaneity, diversity and unpredictability in order to communicate with AI in other words, dumb down.
