G. Stolyarov II's video: RAADfest 2022 Future Makers Panel Nuno Martins Jean H bert Ben Goertzel Gennady Stolyarov II

On Sunday, April 2, 2023, the U.S. Transhumanist Party streamed the final session of RAADfest 2022, which occurred on October 9, 2022, in San Diego, California and was moderated by U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II. The Future Makers Panel featured some of the most ambitious proposals for addressing the problem of aging through an array of emerging technologies – from brain-cloud interfaces enabled by nanotechnology (discussed by the eloquent polymath Dr. Nuno Martins) to incremental replacement of aging brain tissue (a major research focus of Professor Jean Hébert) to the uses of artificial intelligence to help develop and analyze super-long-lived Methuselah flies (one of the projects of Dr. Ben Goertzel) to the use of robots in elder care (our final guest was Grace the Robot). Each of the speakers presented in sequence, followed by a joint Q&A session, moderated by Chairman Stolyarov. Members of the public took part in the YouTube chat and posed questions while the stream was ongoing. At the end of this stream, a brief additional Musical Q&A segment featured two of Chairman Stolyarov’s compositions, remastered by Jason Geringer in 2022 – Strides of Technology, Op. 30, and the second remastered version of the Robotic Rag, Op. 82. These remastered versions of the compositions were shared with the public for the first time.

As a polymath, Dr. Martins usually likes to make use of different subject areas, drawing ideas and concepts from different bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. Dr. Jean Hébert is Professor in the Department of Neuroscience, and Professor in the Department of Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His research is focused on devising methods of cell replacement for the adult neocortex when its cells are lost due to damage or age-related degeneration. The U.S. Transhumanist Party previously held a Virtual Enlightenment Salon with Dr. Jean Hébert on April 11, 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZqOeVmnH3Q Dr. Ben Goertzel is a cognitive scientist, artificial intelligence researcher, CEO and founder of SingularityNET, leader of the OpenCog Foundation and the Artificial General Intelligence Society. Dr. Goertzel is one of the world’s foremost experts in Artificial General Intelligence, a subfield of AI oriented toward creating thinking machines with general cognitive capability at the human level and beyond. He also has decades of expertise applying AI to practical problems in areas ranging from natural language processing and data mining to robotics, video gaming, national security and bioinformatics.
