Vitalia 2024: AI & Technological Progress Conference
Technological shifts inspire hope and fear. The hope of AI is to become a technological accelerant that solves problems of modern life and in nearly all areas of industry - it touches everything.
AI & Technological Progress is one of four themes at Vitalia 2024, a two month pop-up city part of the larger Vitalia movement to start a longevity network society—a multi-jurisdiction society built around “making death optional”.
Following Longevity & Human Improvement (Jan 14 - 20) and Crypto Cities & Network States (Jan 29 - Feb 4), AI & Technological Progress week takes place during the 5th week of Vitalia with a hackathon starting on Monday (Feb 5) for those eager to build.
The weekdays are otherwise reserved for decentralized events and discussions as well as opportunities for visitors to get a taste of life in Vitalia. Friday (Feb 9) kicks off the formal programming with a series of introductory sessions for residents with our official AI & Technological Progress Summit on Saturday (Feb 10).
