Nick Bostrom's Home Page

Página de web del Profesor Nick Bostrom, Director del Future of Humanity Institute de la Facultad de Filosofía y de la James Martin 21st Century School de la Universidad de Oxford. Contiene sus artículos sobre Transhumanismo, impactos de la tecnología sobre la condición humana, ética, racionalidad y teoría de la decisión. Bostrom es una de las personas que está en la frontera del pensamiento en relación a las implicaciones sobre la propia condición humana y la sociedad del desarrollo tecnológico. Es una de las referencias globales. Él escribe: "I want to make it possible to think more rationally about big picture questions. Some of these questions are about ethics and value. Others have to do with methodology and how we make predictions or deal with uncertainty. Still others pertain to specific concerns and possibilities, such as existential risks, the simulation hypothesis, artificial intelligence, human enhancement, and transhumanism. Others are more mundane. Suppose we get many little things right and make progress. What use, if we are marching in the wrong direction? Or squandering our resources on projects of limited utility while pivotal (maybe unconventional) tasks are left unfunded and undone? What if we are attending mainly to matters that don’t matter? My working assumption: Macro-questions are at least as important as micro-questions, and therefore deserve to be studied with at least the same level of scholarship, creativity, and academic rigor. This assumption might be wrong. Perhaps we are so irredeemably inept at thinking about the big picture that it is good that we usually don’t. Perhaps attempting to wake up will only result in bad dreams. Perhaps. But how will we know unless we try?"
