b'There are many technological races taking place right now. Three of them have been fairly regular topics of discussion on this show:\\n\\nThe Space Race\\n\\nThe Race Against Aging\\n\\nThe AI Race\\n\\nWhich of these races should we be focused on right now?\\n\\nIn space, as we have noted, nation states are racing against private entities. The race against aging is currently taking place mostly in the private sector. We ALL have a personal stake in that one. A recent Internet meme showed Elon Musk and his mom and suggested that rather than racing to Mars he should be racing to reverse aging.\\n\\nThe AI race is more nearly a clash of world powers, although the US is currently splitting its leadership position between businesses on one side and universities and the military on the other. China has an aggressive plan to move ahead. But this time out, everyone is playing.\\n\\nAI is the new space race. Here\\u2019s what the biggest countries are doing\\n\\nhttps://bit.ly/2rhhlIx\\n\\nWhich of these races is the most urgent?\\n\\nIf they don\\u2019t end aging, I\\u2019m going to die.\\n\\nBut if we don\\u2019t win the AI race, we may face total economic defeat by the winning power. Also, AI has the potential to end the world.\\n\\nOn the other hand, who is more likely to conquer aging: a country that is ahead in AI or a country that is not? Same goes for space.\\n\\nMaybe when you come down to it, there is really only one race going.\\n\\nWT 439-752\\n\\nEternity Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) | Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\\n\\nImage from Pixabay.com'
