We are leaving an epoch of significant changes driven by the development of technology and science. This is not new, but now these changes are happening at a pace that makes the future we imagined yesterday already existing today.
I will review some of the latest breakthroughs, especially in the fields of aerospace engineering and artificial intelligence, and the impact of these on the future of humankind.
Finally, I will discuss what should be done to avoid a bad ending and whether we are ready to accomplish such an enormous task.
