It will continue to be user-driven personal vehicles (cars, trucks, SUVs) Self-driving personal vehicles Self-driving robotaxis Ride-sharing (like UBER) with a human driver Buses Low-flying vehicles Light rail ResultsVote Are today’s login security measures (passwords, 2FA, biometrics)… Too strict — they make access frustrating About right — good balance of security and convenience Not strict enough — need stronger protections ResultsVote Choose the one you personally consider the greatest: Marie Curie Charles Darwin Thomas Edison Albert Einstein Galileo Galilei Gregor Mendel James Clerk Maxwell Isaac Newton Louis Pasteur Nikola Tesla ResultsVote Which of these inventions do you expect to exist in your lifetime? Aging reversal therapy (significantly extending lifespan) Nanobot-based disease elimination (continuous internal health monitoring and repair) Humanoid AI companions (robots that appear human) Brain-computer interfaces that allow direct communication with technology Fully immersive dream design/control Teleportation (human transport, Star Trek style) Reliable weather control (e.g., preventing hurricanes or droughts) Gravity manipulation (e.g., levitation or anti-gravity transport) Memory recording and playback (reliving experiences) Time travel to the past ResultsVote What worries you most about artificial intelligence? Losing jobs to AI AI spreading misinformation Loss of human connection Privacy and surveillance AI becoming too powerful (turning against humans) Environmental damage I'm not concerned about AI ResultsVote Which of the following medical advances do you expect to occur during your lifetime? (Select all that apply.) Personalized cancer vaccines that are routinely used to treat many cancers. Gene-editing cures for inherited diseases using technologies such as CRISPR. Artificial intelligence diagnoses that are more accurate than most physicians for many conditions. Lab-grown replacement organs (kidneys, livers, hearts) created from a patient's own cells. Effective treatments that significantly slow aging and extend healthy lifespan. A cure for Alzheimer's disease that restores or preserves cognitive function. A universal cancer treatment that works across many different cancer types. Brain-computer interfaces that restore movement, speech, or sensory function after injury.
