/ New York – October 29,
2021: WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”)
(SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, AI,
Blockchain, and IoT company, today announced its Founder and CEO
Carlos Moreira had the opportunity of discussing, in this interview
with Steve Banon, the content on The transHuman Code bestseller
book that was debated at the Vatican Collegio Teutonico meeting on
October 23, 2021. In stark contrast to the transhumanism movement
whose desire is to create the ultimate superhuman by modifying the
person with innovative technology, The transHuman Code was written
to initiate the most important conversation of our lives — how to
keep people at the center of gravity in their relationship with
technology and ensure that humans have the final decision and
control of the switch.
The risks are so great, but the opportunities are even greater,
if the two can exist in harmony. The pandemic has reinforced the
importance of collaboration in the development, financing, and use
of technology for our future. Organizing the wisdom and initiatives
of technology innovators is essential so that everyone understands
and stays at the forefront of The transHuman Code’s mandate.
Mr. Moreira, noted, “The book was published before the
technology threat awareness movement, which is now underway, the
importance of the conversation has only been accelerated and
amplified. Our assembly at the Vatican last week, brought together
business, financial and spiritual leaders to discuss how we can
program our future for good using the principles of The transHuman
Code, provided clear evidence of this.” One
critical subplot to the global pandemic is that the very thing we
hoped would save us — technological innovation – has fallen short.
But our inability to slow or stop COVID-19 any sooner has not been
a technological failure. The real failure is that our global
wherewithal is more clearly fractured than it has ever been.
Humanity has the tools we seek to solve the issues we currently
face, and many others. We just haven’t figured out how to work as
one. But there is still a straightforward way to solve both current
and future challenges.
Mr. Moreira added, “In our bestselling 2019 book, The
transHuman Code, we offered the world a carefully curated take on
the essential conversations that will determine whether our
relationship with technology will upgrade or undermine our
humanity. It ignited a global dialogue. Now it’s time for the next
step: taking tangible action to ensure that the highest human
values are coded into the technologies that are defining how we
will live in what is now commonly called “the metaverse” — the
digital world in which we will increasingly work, communicate,
relate, and reside as global, digital citizens.”
This go round, we are not merely curating conversation. We aim
to identify and ignite the technological tools and solutions
required right now. The transHuman Code 2.0 will
establish, clearly and compellingly, the steps the world must take,
and the specific areas in which we must take them, to ensure that
the metaverse presented to us is designed for the greatest common
good and monitor its evolution so it is human-centric and under
Human control.
As humans “HomoSapiens” we can view this in three ways,
concurrently:
- First, through the lens of a citizen of the physical universe,
who desires that humanity flourish through the upholding of our
highest values, and the triumph over our greatest struggles.
- Second, through the lens of a beneficiary of the digital
metaverse, one who enjoys its many benefits but also understands
that technology can do great harm if not stewarded well.
- Third, through the lens of a fellow innovator whose ideas,
convictions, and actions will help usher in the brightest future
for our physical and digital world.
Technology is a visible force and an invisible one. We must be
aware of both, to ensure human values remain at the helm. A
powerful cautionary tale of what happens when human values aren’t
at the helm of technological advancement comes from the late
nineteenth century.
To avoid catastrophic consequences, humanity must have more than
a few hundred thousand savvy tech entrepreneurs making decisions on
the metaverse. We are all protagonists in this global drama. We
don’t need to look any further than the pandemic we’re still
fighting to know that these digital decisions affect us all.
Mr. Moreira concluded, “So the big question is how can we
elevate life as we know it, in both the physical and digital realms
in which we exist? It starts with an acknowledgment that innovation
is both good and bad and reaches us as an internal and an external
process. In other words, it comes from someplace inside our hearts,
minds, and souls that we can’t fully explain. Who really
comprehends the birth of an idea? No one. We just know it comes
from somewhere inside of us. But innovation also originates from
the outside, through the external context in which we find
ourselves: members of a large, equally incomprehensible universe.
The nature of innovation has never changed. Ideas come from
everywhere. How we approach them, proactively as human co-creators
with technology not reactively as mere consumers, will determine
our future. In the end, what we the world collectively seek is to
co-create a future that is both immediately fulfilling and filled
with the prospect of greater fulfillment to come. Humanity has
always suffered challenges. How we solve them today, in our dual
reality of the universe and metaverse, will frame the lives we lead
for centuries to come.”
