Navigating Humanity’s Next Frontier

Technology not only extends humans, but also fundamentally alters the way we interact with one another and the world around us. As we become embedded in the digital world and modern technologies, our physical and digital selves become all the more inseparable, while the boundaries that define us as human grow increasingly blurred. Our identity comes under threat, as malign actors are enabled by rapidly developing ways to undermine our personal security, while the ways we change risk opening ourselves up to new vulnerabilities. In a world of evolving cyber-physical pressures, we ask what it means to be human as a physical, digital, and social being, what defines us as unique individuals, and what draws us together as humanity, to the end of developing tools and solutions to safeguard the security of the human self.
