Mathesis: The 4th industrial revolution is in full swing. Biology, Physics and Informatics set them fundamentals for a future that we would hardly have imagined even a few years ago.
Extending life expectancy, fighting nanocrystalline cancer, human interaction with robots, computational vision and new revolutionary methods of modifying human DNA are just some of the developments that we used to describe as science fiction, but today they are in the realm of the possible.
In this course, after a first overview of the changes that are taking place, the President and scientists of the Institute of Technology and Research will introduce us to three aspects of tomorrow.
We will first look at man's attempt to defeat disease and old age. Subsequently
we will see the rapid developments that bring to medicine - and not only - the physics and especially the nanotechnology and then we will analyze important precalls with which Artificial Intelligence confronts us. Finally, we will discuss the ethical dilemmas and legal issues that arise in the brave new world that is emerging.
