4th industrial revolution – and what it means to be human.. and who gets to decide

8 min – hope to remove mutations from entire human species – Jennifer Doudna

10 min – tech – a place to do things that we can’t do alone – Justine Cassell – bringing back skills of 2nd revolution ie: empathy, collab, et al..

11 min  – on tech to spur us to curiosity .. in the classroom – Justine

why in the classroom?

13 min – on regulatory ness… we have to talk to each other.. who gets to decide… like davos community… great example.. of talking to each other.. Henry T. Greely… we now have power to change every single genome.. regulatory side not ready for that

perhaps getting in way and exclusive. we can do better

17 min – distinction on what to be human – and essential part of our humanity is to always extent that.. what is ness – Angela Hobbs – if staying human we need.. ie: staying curious…  then fine.. if not..  we need to have convos.. even through school years.. of what it means to be flourishing life..

so .. back to henry – and davos as an example of great convo.. but who there is talking outside of the school day/years..?

24 min – on ai saying… making autonomous machines.. like us.. but.. we are not autonomous.. we are interdependent.. – Justine Cassell

27 min – impact of computer on human beings..we have tech.. but not knowledge to know the genome yet – Jennifer

28 min  – each transition in brain – isn’t a transitor.. it’s a computer.. so complex.. – Henry… i think you’re talking.. for a full understanding of the human brain – a century or more..

so to vinay – reverse complexity

30 min – how to teach selves as human – to stick to own values – Amira Yahyaoui

31 min – when you are listened to everywhere.. doesn’t that change your life.. – Klaus Schwab

depends .. if we have ps open and something for everyone to do et al..

32 min – on it being an illusion… we’re being watched more now.. not too long ago.. many more felt watched all the time by god.. in bedroom, in soul.. i think we have more privacy now.. – Angela Hobbs

34 min – on us worrying more about someone selling us something because they read our email.. or eternal damnation.. – Justine Cassell

36 min – what’s human is not the structure.. it’s what inside – Henry – depends on how we’re taught.. it’s a process.. important that we have teachers/robots.. to teach children what it is to be human

whoa.. – perhaps we need to be learning rom 5 yr olds.. what it means to be human.. everyday. as the day.

38 min – interplay between genetics we inherit and environment we find outselves in – Jennifer

42 min – on comparison with people we don’t see as human.. that we judge what is human.. (ie: computer, women, migrants).. i’d rather that comparison go away.. and each reflects to own purpose – Justine Cassell

48 min – a lot of what makes us human comes from our brain chemistry – Jennifer

52 min – if we all create self-awareness…. – Klaus Schwab

Our economic model is broken – so how can we fix it? wef.ch/1q8ACcf #climatechange pic.twitter.com/MFx07rw16a

If we don’t pick up the pace, we could lose the battle against poverty and inequality and face increased social division that is already eating at the heart of stable democracies and our communities. We could lose the fight against climate change with even more horrendous consequences for the human species.

Economic and environmental sustainability is without any doubt now a question of what future we want for humanity.

This is how we can tackle global educational inequalities https://t.co/fqmhhy8Yza https://t.co/hixPzJzP0p(http://twitter.com/wef/status/779652105783091201?s=17)

This commission is committed to the fourth United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, which aims, by 2030, to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”

And education has long-term societal benefits: aside from increased political engagement, educated children contribute intellectual capital and pursue entrepreneurial opportunities when they grow up, boosting economic growth.

Tackling the education challenge needs to start from two principles embedded in the goal.

First, “for all” means that we must focus on the children who have been left behind. …….

Second, “quality”: Education must be effective, so that children actually learn.

Upholding these two principles will require increased investment. ….

This will require increased revenue from taxation and stronger efforts to collect what’s owed.
