THE FUTURE OF WORK AND DEATH

by Gray Scott

THE FUTURE OF WORK AND DEATH is a new documentary feature film from GADFLY Productions. Directed by Sean Blacknell and Wayne Walsh. I am now the co-executive producer and futurist advisor for the film so I’m not even trying to be impartial. This film is going to be amazing. With new articles on [easyazon_link asin=”1491211482″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”seriou03-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]longevity research [/easyazon_link] emerging daily, the timing could not be better.

Will we work, age or even die in the future? Will automation and longevity research end the age of work and death forever?



The Unemployed Immortals Or Utopian Leisure Society – Imagine a future filled with unemployed immortals. It may sound science fiction, however, near future advancements in AI and robotics may allow us to automate almost every job and reverse our age.

Are we heading into a utopian leisure society or, will [easyazon_link asin=”0312622376″ locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”seriou03-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]automation[/easyazon_link] wars erupt around the world as robots and advanced algorithms begin to replace workers? A new report from Oxford has found that the next 20 years will see 45% of America’s workforce replaced by computerized automation.

Interviews for the documentary include – Aubrey De Grey – Biomedical Gerontologist, David Pearce – Philosopher, Gray Scott – Futurist,  Dr Ian Pearson – Futurologist, Prof Murray Shanahan – Cognitive Roboticist, Will Self – Writer and Prof of Contemporary Thought, Ken Gemes – Philosopher, Michael Foley – Writer, Dr Peter Cochrane – Futurist & Entrepreneur, Prof Steve Fuller –Sociologist, Dr Stuart Armstrong – AI Researcher, Prof Jon Harris – Bioethicist and many more.
THE FUTURE OF WORK AND DEATH
 The Age of Age Reversal – Will near future medical advancements free us from the chains of natural death? Several recent scientific studies from Harvard and the University of New South Wales have produced startling, some might say, magical results. Age reversal in mice. Is this the beginning of the end of natural death?

What is the meaning of life? Why are we hear? What is the purpose of life? These fundamental questions have yet to be answered. Until now, it seems humanity has been too busy surviving to answer these questions.

That is about to change. Advancements in AI and robotics may allow us to automate everything. Can humanity cope with such a massive paradigm shift?
