The Decline of Polymathy in Academia

We travel to Stockholm to visit Dr Anders Sandberg at the Mimir Centre for Long Term Futures Research – part of the Swedish Institute for Futures Studies – for a conversation on existential risks posed by AI, the state of futures studies today, being a polymath in the Nordics, and why there are so many Swedish futurists...

Sandberg holds a PhD in computational neuroscience and was previously a Research Fellow at the renowned Future of Humanity Institute (FHI) at the University of Oxford, alongside other prominent futurists, such as Nick Bostrom and Toby Ord.
