The d/acc Vision: Balancing Progress and Protection
A one-day summit focusing on the theme of d/acc: emphasizing the values of decentralization, democracy, differential accelerated progress, and defensive tech including crypto security, public epistemics, bio defense, neurotech/longevity, decentralized ai and physical resilience.
Visions of a Viable d/acc Biosafety Strategy
A one-day summit focusing on the theme of d/acc: emphasizing the values of decentralization, democracy, differential accelerated progress, and defensive tech including crypto security, public epistemics, bio defense, neurotech/longevity, decentralized ai and physical resilience.
Community Notes: Scaling Public Epistemics
Community Notes allows regular X users to collaboratively add context to potentially misleading posts. It uses a transparent and verifiable mechanism that aims to be credibly neutral by only showing posts liked by users who typically disagree.
Hardware Security: From Sand to Stone
All software runs on hardware. The assumptions on which many of our systems rest are often shakier than we realise. This talk explores hardware security, its shortcomings and the path to a firmer foundation.
Putting Identities On-Chain (Passport ZKP)
Discussing the creation of an on-chain registry system for storing zero-knowledge (zk) identities. This system will enable individuals to self-issue and control their data without a central authority, showcasing the ZK passport use case.
A d/acc vision for decentralized ai
A one-day summit focusing on the theme of d/acc: emphasizing the values of decentralization, democracy, differential accelerated progress, and defensive tech including crypto security, public epistemics, bio defense, neurotech/longevity, decentralized ai and physical resilience.
Biometric proof of personhood verification in Worldcoin
A one-day summit focusing on the theme of d/acc: emphasizing the values of decentralization, democracy, differential accelerated progress, and defensive tech including crypto security, public epistemics, bio defense, neurotech/longevity, decentralized ai and physical resilience.
Going from Alzheimer's to Pandemics: Bringing FLOSS to Bio Testing
Varro has developed a unique semiconductor-based biosensor platform that detects pathogens in human breath and indoor air with significant improvements in speed, sensitivity, and cost over existing technologies. The platform will be offered via open source to expand its reach and accessibility. We will discuss the core technology and how it can be used to prevent the spread of disease and new pandemics around the world.
NeuroAI for AI safety
Powerful unaligned AIs pose risks to humans. This talk will explore how neuroscience-inspired AI–or NeuroAI–can lead to a deeper understanding of the human brain, and help us build more secure AI. I’ll connect these ideas to d/acc, arguing that neuroAI can play an enabling role in creating technologies that are inherently defense-favoring and promote human well-being.
Neurotech - humanity’s next frontier
A one-day summit focusing on the theme of d/acc: emphasizing the values of decentralization, democracy, differential accelerated progress, and defensive tech including crypto security, public epistemics, bio defense, neurotech/longevity, decentralized ai and physical resilience.
