Testimonials
Natasha Vita-More is a very engaging, highly regarded, and dramatic speaker, writer, and thinker on issues of life extension, artificial intelligence and its impact on society, and other topics that I also have a strong interest in. I have known her for decades and been inspired by her insights. Ray Kurzweil. Kurzweil Technologies.
It was a great pleasure to host you as our Keynote Speaker at the Best Brands Gala in Warsaw. Our client is absolutely amazed. Thank you so much for being so engaged – the speech briefing was perfect in every point. I feel so inspired and loaded with your great energy – thank you so much for that! — Digital University Expert Speakers Office
We are in the process of upgrading the human species, so we might as well do it with deliberation and foresight. A good first step is this book [by Natasha Vita-More and Max More], which collects the smartest thinking available concerning the inevitable conflicts, challenges and opportunities arising as we re-invent ourselves.” Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick for Wired magazine
Natasha is a creative and provocative futurist, willing and able to make imaginative -- yet well-grounded -- leaps and connections. She's both immersed in traditional scenario and foresight methodologies and open to practical experimentation. In the multiple foresight exercises I've run with her; she's proven to be a key contributor to the process and has demonstrated a strong capacity for leadership. Reliable, smart and creative, Natasha is a joy to work with. I recommend her whole-heartedly. Jamais Cascio.
Dr. Natasha Vita-More, one of the most renowned futurists in the world. A strong believer in the continuous improvement of the human experience, she views aging as a disease to be cured, conquered through augmentation and enhancement of the human body and brain made possible by advancing science and technology. Briar Prestige, Prestige Group
Natasha is that rare thing: a pragmatic visionary. I have seen her work in several contexts and have always been impressed by her ability to combine a realistic understanding of present-day human and technological realities, with a clear vision of the future and all the possibilities it entails. Ben Goertzel, PhD, Singularity.NET
Natasha Vita-More is in a unique position to speak about the role of artificial intelligence in our society today. She has produced scholarly work on the humanitarian benefits that technology can bring to our lives. She is articulate and insightful. Indeed, I was recently with her on the AI panel at FreedomFest where she highlighted how we can allay growing fears about AI as the public and policymakers witness the emergence of Chat-GPT, and explained how that technology will enhance human well-being in years to come. You could not have a better speaker on AI than Natasha Vita-More! Edward Hudgins, PhD.
Brilliant. Innovative. Professionally Acclaimed. Where to begin writing about Natasha's many remarkable contributions to society as one of today's leading futurists? If her remarkable credentials and inspiring track-record of media work isn't enough, then suffice it to say that she's the spokeswoman for the future, and the scope of her vision and its impact on society will outlive us all. Tim Ventura.
My general research focuses on the questions humanity is facing today that are impacting our future—AI, nanomedicine, human enhancement, and healthy longevity. While my scientific research achieved the first known evidence of persistence of long-term memory of simple animals in the cryobiology protocols of vitrification, I am not a seasoned scientist. Rather, I am an innovator who produces projects, one of which was a scientific breakthrough. I innovated the theory of Ageless Thinking, developed university courses on the future of AI, pioneered a whole-body prototype in 1996 known as Primo Posthuman in combining AI, nanorobotics and prosthetics, including the Metabrain. I helped to spearhead a cultural movement that was the first philosophy on humanity’s future. I write about the cultural, philosophical, and socio-political issues concerning what it means to be human and an awareness of our trajectory that require us to reflect on where we are headed. My study examines who or what will govern our future, how we can strategize existential threats and assess the scope of AI and supercomputers, build awareness of cybersecurity, and protect our human rights.
