Betterhumans Supports Accelerating Change Conference 2003

Dedicated to exploring and advocating the use of science and technology for furthering human progress, Betterhumans will sponsor the upcoming forum for examining resources, risks and responsibilities related to cascading technological breakthroughs.

(PRWEB) August 2, 2003 -- The phenomenon of accelerating change is observed in many complex systems, such as biological organisms, economies, computing systems and the general process of technological development. Over the course of their development, such systems become radically more efficient and powerful -- most famously seen in the history of integrated circuits, as described by Moore's Law.

Dedicated to exploring and advocating the use of science and technology for furthering human progress, Betterhumans addresses accelerating change through its editorial products, events and sponsorships.

Betterhumans is therefore pleased to sponsor the Institute for Accelerating Change's Accelerating Change Conference 2003, a forum for 300 participants to explore resources, risks and responsibilities related to cascading breakthroughs in computational technologies.

Held at Stanford University on September 12 to 14, this conference will feature Ray Kurzweil, K. Eric Drexler, Steve Jurvetson, Tim O'Reilly, Robert Wright and 19 other speakers.

Conference topics include:

- Multifold trends in accelerating change
- Nanotechnology and nanoscience
- Social stability and foresight
- Artificial general intelligence
- Venture capital in a world of accelerating change
- The technological and developmental singularity
- Biologically inspired computing
- Accelerating change and world peace
- The linguistic user interface
- Social software solutions
- Technology and interdependence
