cybersecurity, IoT and AI company, today announced that David
Fergusson, Executive MD of Generational Equity and Carlos Moreira,
CEO and Founder of WISeKey, authors of ‘The transHuman Code’ and
‘Artificial Humanity’ will host the introduction of ‘The Code to
the Metaverse - Programming Our Future For Good’ at a meeting
scheduled to be held on October 23, 2021 at Collegio Teutonico,
Vatican City.
In the best-selling 2019 book, The
transHuman Code, business leaders David Fergusson
and Carlos Moreira offered the world a carefully curated outlook on
the essential conversations that will determine whether we use
technology to upgrade or undermine our humanity. Addressing
critical topics like water, finance, government, jobs, and health,
the book ignited a global dialogue about how to ensure that
humanity and technology exist in harmony during this digital
revolution.
In collaboration with the Pontifical Lateran University at the
Vatican and Humanity 2.0, the authors were invited to bring the
conversation to the Vatican’s Collegio
Teutonico shortly after the book’s launch. The
event assembled technology, corporate, finance,
government, academic, ecclesiastic and media leaders in an
interactive forum to catalyze awareness and establish the best path
forward.
On October 23, Fergusson and Moreira, together with Father
Philip Larrey, Chairman of Humanity 2.0; Chair of Logic
Epistemology and Dean of Philosophy at the Pontifical Lateran
University in the Vatican; and author of Artificial
Humanity, will return to Collegio Teutonico to introduce
The Code to the Metaverse
- Programming Our Future For
Good, a forthcoming twelve-part multi-media series that
convenes the brightest minds and most important resources to one
end: ensuring the highest human values are embedded into today’s
most important technological advancements.
This exclusive, invitation only event, a feature of the Elite
Global Leader’s Conference, brings financial, philanthropic,
spiritual and business leaders together to discuss
The Code and the
steps we must collectively take to create the future we most
desire.
