The headwinds are real. The work is harder than ever. And Kai is still showing up, still translating, still finding ways to make people lean in. Featured Futuremaker: Kai Rassmus Landwehr Director Global Marketing + Co-Executive Director at @myclimate #EarthDay2026

He'll be the first to tell you that no exponential technology is going to solve the climate crisis on its own. But what his time at Singularity gave him was a renewed sense of how much potential exists when the right people find each other and start pulling in the same direction.

CRISPR took decades to go from bacterial curiosity to gene therapy revolution. The tools coming next won't take that long — because the discovery process has been transformed. MIT's DefensePredictor found over 600 previously unknown immune proteins in E. coli in five minutes. The same week, a Pasteur Institute AI predicted 2.4 million more across 32,000 bacterial genomes. When AI accelerates the front end of biological discovery, everything downstream — drug development, genetic engineering, synthetic biology — accelerates with it. This is what exponential convergence looks like in practice.

Most people forget: Our ability as humans to play around with molecules, to shape new materials, has been the foundation of how we live today.

In order to decarbonize. what kind of technology can we envision that could effectively use gigawatts of electricity to build the molecules we need?

Astreas is exploring space aboard #ArtemisII, and chocolate lovers will be very excited to hear @tiffanyjvora will be bringing the out-of-this-world truffles to our April Executive Program!
Tiffany J Vora@tiffanyjvora

ICYMI, I shared 5 reasons why chocolate shows up in my work & what it has to do about the future(s) we’re building. Link in comments👇 PS shoutout to the awesome team at Astreas! Grateful to be part of this journey with them. We even get to see each other around the world IRL!

Camus
Camus@newstart_2024·
Ray Kurzweil just said something that gave me pause. He believes AIs will soon be so indistinguishable from conscious beings that we’ll simply accept them as conscious — not because we’ll have definitive proof, but because it will become useless not to. He pointed out that people already have AI therapists, and some users are starting to treat them as genuinely conscious. As the technology improves, that acceptance will only grow. Kurzweil thinks the shift won’t take long: once AIs consistently show all the earmarks of consciousness, most people will just go along with it. It’s a quiet but profound prediction about how quickly our definition of “person” (or at least “mind”) might change. What do you think — how long until we treat AIs as conscious beings?

The most accurate futurist in world history is Ray Kurzweil. Amazing prescience.

Yes! Huge fan of "The Singularity Is Near". It inspired an idea for a new holiday, Singularity Day. First one would have been in 2005. Second one 20 years later. Third one 10 years later. Then 5, etc. By 2045 it would become a daily event! I pitched it to Ray at event, and he looked at me like I was crazy!

@pmarca for example, a 30-year prediction that was crazy-bold at the time: x.com/FutureJurvetso…
Steve Jurvetson@FutureJurvetson

Based on this version of Moore's Law, Ray Kurzweil forecasted that AGI would arrive by 2029. He made that prediction 30 years ago. And today, at TED 2024, he thinks we are right on track. I pay tribute with a back cover blurb on his new book: "Ray Kurzweil’s Moore’s Law abstraction is the most important thing ever graphed. It’s continuity—over his lifetime of writing—is the greatest take-away for the future of humanity, and the future of intelligence." — amazon.com/Singularity-Ne… I have also been maintaining his curve for the past 20 years, and if you want to do a deep dive, I describe it here: x.com/futurejurvetso…

@Dr_Singularity 2005. The Singularity is Near. Still one of my favorite books. Seemed crazy at the time, but the detail made it hard for me to unplug. I’ve been watchful since

Congratulations!! 👏👏👏
Prof Shafi Ahmed PhD FRCS@ShafiAhmed5

I am so excited and immensely proud to receive the first copies of my new book!! INTELLIGENT: The Evolution of AI Transforming Healthcare. It is now available globally on Amazon as hardback, paperback and ebook versions. This has been a long journey writing this book and trying to understand the type of book that was necessary and would have the biggest impact. The book reflects a decade of my work and thinking on AI and its role in healthcare. It is written for absolutely anyone interested in this space, from patients, students, clinicians, scientists and health care leaders. Fundamentally, it's a story of AI and how it will impact all of us in healthcare and gives a critical analysis of the current landscape. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
