Cíle předmětu

Exponentially fast developments in Informatics, especially in information storing, transmission and processing driven technologies, and in artificial intelligence, create potential for enormous impacts on society. The impact that has potential to be very positive, but also very negative, even historical. Moreover, due to that development, what can be nowadays expected as to happen in the next 50-100 years, in most of the areas of society, especially in science, technology, health care,...., if the current rate of development is sustained, can happen actually already within next 20-40 years. The goal of the course is to provide a visionary and thoughts-provoking, but well grounded, analysis of the main developments that we can, reasonably, expect, and why, in the (very) near future. Especially due to the development in all information processing and communication driven technologies, nanotechnologies, genetics, non-biological (artificial) intelligence and in fights with natural death and in explorig intelligence as a commodity. Informatics, once properly understood and developed%and sufficiently broadly and deeply understood, is to play at that a key role. Merits of the favorable future, but also ways to avoid perils, if possible, will also be discussed. The course should be of interest and importance to all those interested to find out the frameworks, tools, tasks and main challenges they and society will face in the (already quite near) future. To understand that should be for anyone not only very interesting, but actually much needed for knowing how to prepare oneself in the best way for the expected long future carrier in enormously fast changing frameworks. Contents: 1. Introduction: Why and how to foresee future? Main megachallenges. 2. Evolution - from biological to non-biological one and to their merge. 3. Exponential acceleration of all information-driven technologies. 4. New perception of Scientific Informatics and its grand challenges. 5. Impulses and roads to a new perception of Informatics 6. Technological and Applied Informatics and their grand challenges. 7. New, Informatics-driven, methodology and its grand challenges. 8. Developments in the understanding and simulation of human brains. 9. GNR-revolution - Artificial intelligence and robotics,aibeings 10. GNR revolution - Genetics and Nanotechnologies. 11. Singularity: merge of bio- and non-bio-intelligence-merits/perils. 12. Longevity - Can we fight death? Can we make life enjoyable till/after 150?!

Osnova

• 1. Introduction. Why and how we need/can forsee future? Old and new mega-challenges of science, technology and informatics. 2.Evolution. From biological to non-biological (technological) evolution and their merge. Enormous expected impacts of the merge ot the biological and non-biological intelligence. 3. Exponential developments in information processing and communication technologies and their impacts on science, technology and the rest of society 4.New perception of informatics and its grand challenges. Informatics as a merge of scientific, engineering, methodological and application informatics. New perception of the scientific informatics and its grand challenges. 5. New perception of the technological iand applied nformatics and their grand challenges. 6. New, informatics-driven methodology for science, technology, and actually for all areas of society. 7. Recent developments in understanding and simulation of human brains and minds 8. GNR revolution - I. Robotics and artificial intelligence. Long hhistory, hot outcomes, big dangers. 9. GNR Revolution - II. Geniomics and nanotechnologies 10. Singularity - a merge of biological and non-biological evolution. 12. Longevity - Can we fight death? How (much). Can we make life ebjyable till/after 150?!

During the last 50 years information processing and communication technologies have kept improving their performance, performance/price ratios and also miniaturization and reliability with ever increasing speed and this is expected even to increase in the coming future. All that so much influences and is to influence all aspects of the life and development of the society that it can be expected that during the next 50 years the overall progress in science,technology, medicine and so on will be larger than during 500 years in case development would increase at the current speed. The goal of the lecture is to provide a visionary but well grounded presentation and analysis of what we can expect, in the development of information processing and communication technologies, non-biological intelligence, informatics as well as informatics methodology and thinking and their overall impacts during the next about 50 years - therefore during the period in which most of the current students of informatics will have to work and compete with new generations that are expected to have much better conditions for their developments - condition that are nowadays hard to imagine. The lecture should be of interest for all those interested to know the frameworks and tasks they will face in the future because they would like and need to know what and where to study in order to be prepared in the best way for bright but hard future and for their existence within it during expected(very) long carrier.
