Welcome to the ISSP!
Computers that think for themselves. Robots that take jobs from humans. Advances in genomics that allow us to extend life indefinitely. Artificial legs that empower an amputee to run faster than his able-bodied competitors. Synthetic biology that enables us to design biological functions not found in nature.
Everywhere we turn these days, we’re faced with a new scientific or technological development. Developments that are profoundly changing our lives - and our society.
