Our Chief AI Alchemist, Dr. @Mihaela_Ulieru, delivered the closing keynote on "AI for Impact: from Promise to Practice" at the Accelerate 2050 Conference, discussing how conscious technologies can reshape investment models and economic structures beyond traditional extraction-based approaches.
Speaking at the Chiesa di Santa Chiara in Brindisi, Italy, in front of leading sustainability experts, impact investors, and ecopreneurs, Dr. Ulieru explored fundamental questions about the future of artificial intelligence and its role in planetary flourishing. "This is not just about AI. It is about who we are becoming. Not smarter machines, but wiser humans. Not faster markets but deeper meaning," she told the audience.
The keynote highlighted a transformative approach to investing and technology development. "A new kind of investing. One not rooted in domination or extraction, but in entanglement with the living web, in reverence for Earth," Dr. Ulieru explained, outlining how the SingularityNET ecosystem exemplifies this philosophy through real-world applications.
She highlighted three key projects from the SingularityNET ecosystem, showcasing this transformative approach within the longevity and finance sectors. @Rejuve_Bio, led by Kennedy Schaal, is developing neural-symbolic systems that accelerate discovery in aging and healthspan science. The company's current pipeline includes the development of five novel therapeutic targets by 2026, a supplement platform already showing promising results in Alzheimer’s models, and a drug repurposing module integrated with OpenCog Hyperon.
@Rejuve_AI, led by Jasmine Smith, offers personalized health insights through its longevity app, which provides tailored health recommendations to guide users and update them on their journey toward improved longevity. @Singularity_Fi, under the leadership of Mario Alberto Casiraghi, offers institutional AI-powered financial services on the ASI Alliance infrastructure to democratize access to the global AI economy.
Dr. Ulieru concluded with a call for ontological transformation beyond technological advancement. "The transformation we seek is not technological. It is ontological," she stated. "It calls us to move from hierarchy to harmony, from control to awareness-based collective action." This vision positions our approach to beneficial AGI as fundamentally changing not just how we build AI systems, but how we understand our relationship with technology and the world.
