Transhumanism Keynote Speaker
The most-watched TEDx talk on transhumanism by a working technologist
Most transhumanism speakers are philosophers. I'm a builder. I've shipped computer vision systems, AI agents, and the tools that are actually augmenting human capability today. My TEDx talk 'The Coming Transhuman Era' has been viewed over 300,000 times and republished by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies.
Overview
Jason Sosa is one of the most-viewed transhumanism speakers in the world, with his TEDx talk 'The Coming Transhuman Era' accumulating over 300,000 views on YouTube. Unlike academic transhumanists, Jason brings a builder's perspective, having founded AI companies, developed patented computer vision systems, and worked at the intersection of human capability and machine intelligence for over 15 years. He is a member of the Lifeboat Foundation Advisory Board and has been featured by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies.
Why
Transhumanism isn't science fiction anymore. AI agents, neural interfaces, genetic engineering, and robotics are advancing faster than our institutions can adapt. Jason bridges the gap between the philosophical questions and the engineering reality, making this topic accessible and urgent for corporate, academic, and government audiences.
