Are you interested in space cities? What do you think about people as the urban nervous system? How can we create better futures with intention?

Interview with Anders Sandberg, Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, smart city, augmented reality, physical laws influencing planning, and many more.

Anders Sandberg has a background in computational neuroscience and mathematical modelling, but has for more than a decade worked in the philosophy faculty of University of Oxford doing research on topics such as the ethics and social impact of human enhancement, emerging technology, global catastrophic and existential risks, applied epistemology, and analysing the far future. Anders’ research at the Future of Humanity Institute centres on management of low-probability high-impact risks, estimating the capabilities of future technologies, and very long-range futures. Topics of particular interest include global catastrophic risk, cognitive biases, cognitive enhancement, collective intelligence, neuroethics, and public policy. His research is extremely interdisciplinary, often combines hard science with philosophy, uses quantitative methods to understand qualitative issues, and typically deals with under-researched topics.
