Rachel Wallis (Berkeley Genomics Project) and myself (Genius DAO) are hosting a workshop to discuss the importance of and possible avenues to radical human intelligence enhancement. Our assertion is that solving pretty much all the other problems the world faces, from development economics and climate change to AI alignment and radical life extension, requires as much intelligence as possible. We need an insurance policy if this whole AGI thing doesn’t work out.

There are going to be speeches, a panel and Q&A, and then a networking session.

List of speakers:

Rachel Wallis: Embryo selection, strong germline engineering, Berkeley Genomics Project, and the super babies!

AK: The case for IQ/acc and the biosingularity.

Gene Smith: Embryo gene editing in ~3 years?

John Boyle: Exceptionally Gifted Children
Describing what exceptionally gifted children (i.e. 160+ IQ) are like and what works well for them, based on researchers' observations and data (particularly Miraca Gross's).
