Technology is advancing faster than ever, and most news implies the future is something to fear. No wonder it's hard to feel hopeful.
We think there’s a more productive way to look ahead.Â
At the frontier of science and technology, experts are working on real, ambitious ideas to solve humanity's biggest challenges. From scaling carbon removal to tackling diseases at their root and using AI to improve our decision-making, we have the tools to make the future go well. We need to take these possibilities seriously—and act on them.
It’s the belief that we can build a future where humanity doesn't just survive, but flourishes. It's not just wishful thinking, it's grounded in what science, technology, and human effort can actually achieve.
Great outcomes aren’t guaranteed, but they’re possible if we act intentionally and ambitiously. What each of us chooses to study, work on, or do has a real impact on the trajectory of society.
We present cutting-edge knowledge in a human and accessible way.
Existential Hope is a nonprofit initiative of the Foresight Institute. Since 1986, Foresight has supported the brightest minds in nanotech, biotech, neurotech, and AI, working to advance science and technology for the benefit of life. We take this 40-year track record of excellence and make it accessible to the public, helping a new generation of "doers" find their place in the future.
