  1. Jahan 1414, World 2035 Converging Technologies for Improving Human Dignity

  2. Why Jahan 1414? • Technologies can shape our future. Changes in the lifestyle could be dramatic, and even revolutionize some basic concepts in the daily life. • Cultures are evolved differently, and the future that our culture might like to shape is possibly very different from one that the Anglo-Saxon culture would develop. • We are in a crucial time that will identify who will lead these changes in the world, and the Jahan 1414 is intended to be a pioneer to shape our future based on the Islamic-Iranian values and beleifs.

  3. Why Converging Technologies? • Nano, Bio, Info and Cognitive Technologies are shown to have a great potential for applications that has been in the myths so far. Synthetic biology particularly in the nanoscale can affect human lifestyle, or life span. In such time, the oldest question of the essense of humanity, or “Who am I?”, seems to be passing one of its deciding times. Can life be “built” if the nanostructure of a living organism would be copied?

  4. Why Human Dignity? • Original report of NBIC was intended to improvise improved human performance. However, it seems that human dignity is forgotten and many projects of the current US regime, the most technologically advanced entity, are damaging human dignity.

  5. Threats to Human Dignity • Social Darwinism • Privacy violations • Humans as advanced Robots

  6. Sample Projects that can realize potentials of NBIC • Robot learns self-awareness • Cognitive computing: thought for the future • Electronic eye for blind man

  7. Sample Projects Violating Human Dignity • TrapWire: is a 'counter-terrorism' technology company that produces a homonymous predictive software system designed to find patterns indicative of terrorism attacks • Cognitive Finger Printing:development of new software-based biometric modalities • Oxytocin Applications: Increasing trust and reducing fear
