"This is the fourth NU2042 event, and the first three have been highly successful. We’ve learned about human evolution, the future of literacy, the importance of social entrepreneurship, the potential for engineered eyes and brains, artificial intelligence, how we can combat human trafficking, what religion might look like in a quarter century, and the death of football," says the release.
"What will the world look like in 2042? What amazing new inventions will have transformed our collective reality? Who will be the global superpowers? Will we be able to breathe the air? Will earth be a garden paradise or a dystopian wasteland?"
NU2042 is part of Nipissing University’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
The event takes place Thursday November 9, at 7 p.m. at the Grande Event Centre at Main and Wyld in North Bay.
