CAJ:‘The lifeboat foundation’ and other programs with the ultimate intentions to safeguard humanity, the earth’s biodiversity, and moreover enable their expansion into the solar system

 "If humans one day become extinct from a catastrophic collision, there would be no greater tragedy in the history of life in the universe. Not because we lacked the brain power to protect ourselves but because we lacked the foresight.“

 Organizations such as ‘The lifeboat foundation‘ tackle the ambiguity of modern technology as both, cause of and solution to threat of the human population on earth at the same time. We are part of an era of ever advancing technology encompassing more sections of our lives each day. While things are made more efficient, faster or possible at all, we tend to forget about the disadvantages, risks and dangers scientific progress brings about as well. We should be curious about what is currently being done to protect human beings from the negative effects Artificial Intelligence could potentially cause. So speaking of threat in this context, misuse and other malign impacts of high technology on humans must be avoided by all means, and this is exactly what ‘the lifeboat foundation’ actually aims for.

 Apart from this, however, its ambitious programs also use technology in order to provide protection for humanity from all kinds of danger. Not only tries it to preserve life and biodiversity on Earth by developing bio shields, asteroid protection systems or weather warning devices, but also tries to put forward the realization of plans regarding the population of the solar system. Actually, transferring most of the earth’s biodiversity to Mars is one of the major goals of the foundation.

I hope I could highlight what the content of my CAJ will be like. I am really looking forward to the CAJ as I am sure I will be having a tremendously exciting and interesting time doing the research work for it.
