KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 (Bernama) -- Breakthroughs in quantum computing will enable humans to cure diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s as easily as we treat the common cold.
It was one of the major insights to emerge from the Dubai Future Forum, held at the Museum of the Future, with renowned theoretical physicist Dr Michio Kaku telling the world’s largest gathering of futurists that humanity should brace itself for “major transformations” in healthcare.
Sharing his predictions for the future, Dr Kaku also said there is “a very good chance” humans will pick up a signal from another intelligent life form this century.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Al Gergawi, UAE Minister of Cabinet Affairs, Vice Chairman, Board of Trustees and Managing Director of the Dubai Future Foundation, said ministers around the world should think of themselves as “designers of the future”.
“Our stakeholders are 7.98 billion people around the world,” he noted, according to a statement.
More than 30 sessions were held with covered topics including immortality, climate change, terraforming, genome sequencing, legislation, and the energy transition.
The forum concluded with a call for governments to institutionalise foresight and engrain it within decision making.
