On Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the presentation by Gennady Stolyarov II, Chairman of the U.S. Transhumanist Party, which offers a balanced portrayal of areas in which artificial intelligence has made impressive strides recently, and areas where humans will remain superior or uniquely capable for a long time. Countering both the hype and fear surrounding artificial intelligence, Chairman Stolyarov’s remarks encourage us to harness the beneficial applications of AI while recognizing the enduring advantages of our humanity. This presentation was originally delivered virtually at the Vanguard Scientific Instruments in Management 2025 (VSIM-2025) conference in Ravda, Bulgaria, on September 9, 2025. The recording includes introductory remarks by Professor Angel Marchev Sr. and discussion in the subsequent Q&A session, with comments by Anton Kulaga and David Wood.
