U.S. Transhumanist Party Candidate Roundtable – Tom Ross and Daniel Twedt – May 7, 2023
On Sunday, May 7, 2023, the U.S. Transhumanist Party presented its Presidential Candidate Roundtable, featuring Tom Ross and Daniel Twedt, who were then seeking the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s endorsement for President of the United States in 2024. The Candidate Roundtable was moderated by Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II and featured questions to the candidates from the other Roundtable attendees and the audience. Unlike a conventional Presidential debate, the Roundtable format is non-adversarial and is primarily intended to facilitate thoughtful, constructive discussion of issues that matter to transhumanists and to the broader public. The Candidate Roundtable also served as an illustration of a new political paradigm that rejects the mainstream divide-and-conquer approach and instead invites us all to build the future together.

Subjects addressed included the capabilities and limitations of generative AI, how humans can adapt to the emergence of AI and see it as an opportunity instead of a threat, the role of AI in ecology, whether generative AI infringes on the rights and well-being of human writers and artists, what AI has to teach us about creativity, the importance of keeping AI truly open-source and broadly available, as well as implications of AI for philosophy, religion, education, and more.
