So far, we have discovered the secrets of less than 0.3 per cent of complex life on the planet. Think what we will achieve when — and it is a matter of when — we understand 1 or 2 per cent of it, let alone 5 or 10 per cent. But it is how we design the emerging technologies behind these breakthroughs and which values inform their design that will shape the future of humankind. That is the point I wish to make tonight.
