We stand at civilization's most consequential threshold: the emergence of artificial superintelligence and technologies that may fundamentally alter human cognition itself.
Join us for a special SF Tech Week networking event and a 60-minute conversation between two extraordinary minds exploring intelligence, existential risk, and the future of humanity.
🎓 Nick Bostrom (connecting live from Oxford) — leading philosopher, author of the bestselling book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, and founding director of the Future of Humanity Institute. His work on existential risk, the simulation hypothesis, and AI governance has shaped how the world's leading institutions approach transformative technology.
🏆 Jonas von Essen — 2X World Memory Champion, co-founder of memoryOS, and holder of multiple world records, including memorizing 100,000 digits of Pi. From average Joe to game show champion (Jeopardy!, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire), author, lecturer, and successful startup founder, Jonas represents the practical frontier of human cognitive enhancement.
What We'll Explore: 🔍
⏰ What are the true existential risks of ASI?
🧬 Risks involved with BMIs having read AND write access to all regions of the brain (injection of false memories and human hacking)
🎯 What should founders, builders, and investors understand now to be on the right side of history?
💬 Q&A with the audience
This is not a debate about gadgets or buzzwords. It is a deep, unsparing exploration of where intelligence itself is heading — and whether we are prepared.
Audience:
This session is curated for investors, founders, and technologists who are building at the edge of AI, neurotech, and human–machine symbiosis. The conversation promises both inspiration and caution: a rare chance to think about the future with clarity, ambition, and urgency.
