NOBEL LAUREATE ERIC S. MASKIN JOINS
LIFEBOAT FOUNDATION SAB
October 28, 2007 - Nobel Laureate
Eric S. Maskin becomes a member of our Scientific Advisory Board.
He joins
fellow Nobel Laureates
Sir Clive W.J. Granger and
Wole
Soyinka.
The Lifeboat Foundation is developing a world-class think tank with a
rich
cognitive diversity of
philosophers, economists, biologists, nanotechnologists, AI
researchers, educators, policy experts, engineers, lawyers, ethicists,
futurists, neuroscientists, physicists, space experts, and other top
thinkers
to help humanity survive
existential risks
and possible misuse of increasingly powerful technologies, including
genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics/AI, as
we move towards a technological
singularity.
Unlike most organizations, whose advisory boards are too small to do
more
than provide some advice, our think tank provides action as well as
words.
Our board members have
developed
programs,
created
reports,
donated money, fueled our
blog, joined our
staff,
organized events, and provided
input on a
range of issues from web design to grant proposals to ideas for new
areas that
Lifeboat Foundation should be involved in.
