If science could predict the day you’ll die, would you want to know? If technology allowed us to talk to animals, would you want to listen? And if machines could erase your worst memories, would you want to forget?

Hannah Fry is a Professor of Mathematics, but she’s also spent the last ten years as a science writer and broadcaster, travelling the world and meeting the people at the cutting edge of discovery. It’s a ringside seat for the technological developments that are just around the corner, and the impact they might have on society.

In this talk, in her characteristic, energetic and interactive style, Hannah will tell you the tales of her travels: About the companies that can read and interpret our brain waves; The NGOs using satellites to prevent conflict; The scientists who have learnt how to speak elephant; and how the big advances in Ai and quantum and compute, combine to enter us into a new era of unimaginably advanced technology.
