On “Posthuman,” from Bloomberg Originals, host Emily Chang  talks to researchers working to overcome the limits of biology, developing technologies that could cure disease, extend lifespans, and allow people to create Human-AI agents in the form of digital avatars that could outlive their physical bodies.

One of her guests is Visiting Media Lab Professor Hossein Rahnama, who discusses the potential impact of such systems, and what safeguards are necessary to protect the privacy and security of the human beings they represent. Professor Rahnama’s segment begins at the 17:45 mark.
