NBIC (Converging Humans with Tech) Links
The US Department of Commerce (DOC), and the National Science Foundation (NSF) came together in 2002 to bring together industry leaders to discuss converging technologies for improving human performance (CTIHP): nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science. Over time, they have now blossomed into a thriving billion-dollar industry, collaborating with the US Department of Defence (DOD), the US Army Research Lab, BigTech, the US Government, and Universities, and spending a substantial amount on AI, COVID-19, 5G, and the Sustainable Development agenda…
NSF/DOC NBIC 2002
Converging technologies for improving human performance: nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science. NSFDOC Report in 2002, Washington D.C.
US Department of Commerce (DOC), and the National Science Foundation (NSF)
Report discusses ideas for the integration and synergy of four technologies:
- Nanotechnology (NANO)
- Biotechnology (BIO)
- Information Technology (INFO)
- Cognitive Science (COGNO)
Basically, ideas for inventions of future-technology of everything they were either dreaming-up, or had already started working on—[ 22 years ago ]—governments, academia, scientists, BigTech, BigpHARMa, investors, inventors, non-profits, industry, and defence/military think-tanks.
Including:
- Gene-therapy, viral and non-viral vectors, “emerging technologies in the area of gene therapies: the use of recombinant DNA as a biologic substance for therapeutics, using “viruses” and other means to modify cellular DNA and proteins for a “desired purpose”
- Nanotechnology in the frontal lobe,
- Remote surveillance of our bodies “to measure health”,
- Brain-Machine Interfacing,
- Downloading and storing human memories,
- Artificial brains, artificial organs
- Touching on the infancy of “carbon nanotube-based materials”,
- Wearable monitoring,
- Embedded Biofluidic Chips,
- DARPA programs for the military to “augment human performance to increase the lethality of the war fighter by providing for super physiological and cognitive capabilities,
- “Nanostructures to disrupt biological function”,
- Biotechnology and nanotechnology / “Lab-on-a-chip” and national medical surveillance network to benefit counterterrorism,
- Sensors that discharge after an attack, retrofitting high-value buildings, nanotechnology to impact practically all areas of defence and war fighting,
- Biochemical sensors to monitor the environment,
- Electromagnetic pulses to carry messages to the cells and neurons,
- Intelligence systems to anticipate threats from adversaries – “due to military threats”, (which is a very real & present-day threat, they say, because, you know, look at what was “observed on 11 September 2001”),
- Nano circuitry to enhance Special Forces,
- Nanoscale delivery systems for nervous systems/neurotransmitters,
- Nanoscale sensors for stimulating/recording electrical activity,
- Hive minds,
- Download yourself new hardware,
- “Smart-clotting” that adjusts to wearer’s activities and social environment,
- Smart Dust,
- Micromechanical Flying Insects,
- “Smart buildings” that inform about their contents and inhabitants,
- Implantable sensors or “Smart” patches to monitor patient and early-disease detection and incorporated into a closed-loop that would dispense a drug/agent that would counteract the detected anomaly,
- “Smart weapons” and “Smart bombs”,
- Biosurveillance in the area of bioterrorism – early detection requires smart sensors at the biological level in the air, water, ground, and on humans, integrated with geographic, demographic, and social information, (and the pesky privacy laws that would need to be dealt with for that to become a desirable and necessary reality “for our security”)
- Nano-bio-sensors that are embedded in the body (that report on health, stress-level, and location),
- Auto-sensors that create a memory of what is said, when people cough or sneeze (!?!), air and water sensors that sense contaminants,
- Simulation tools that estimate the change in social outcomes
- And more…
- (this is just what I found scrolling through the document in the early hours of the morning)
So the above report was the first collaboration of bringing broad ideas together, bringing all these different sectors together, to merge science, education, bigtech, pharma, government, security, surveillance, investors, industry, etc, to present ideas and what they were already working on, to collaborate and “move things forward faster”.
Fast Forward to 2021 for a second, just to confirm the above claim.
NSF/DOD Convergence Accelerator 2021
National Science Foundation presents:
NSF Convergence Accelerator [Research Funding] (4min)
- 12 Aug 2021 NSF YouTube | Rumble-Mirror
“Research is often driven by a compelling societal or scientific challenge, but developing solutions can take years. To deliver tangible solutions that have a nation-wide societal impact and at a faster pace, the NSF launched the Convergence Accelerator program. Leveraging a use-inspired convergence approach to transition basic research and discovery into practice, the program uses innovation processes like human-centered design, user discovery, team science; and integration of multidisciplinary research and cross-cutting partnerships to solve high impact societal challenges.”
Launched in 2019, the NSF Convergence Accelerator builds upon basic research and discovery to accelerate solutions toward societal impact. The program funds teams to solve societal challenges through convergence research and innovation. To enhance its impact, the Accelerator also places teams together in cohorts, synergizing their work through facilitated collaboration.
2022 DOD/NSF > 5G
One of the Funding Opportunities on the NSF link above, is a Joint Venture with the Department of Defense (DoD) on 5G projects…
“Supports use-inspired research to enhance end devices and augment 5G infrastructure so that military, government and critical infrastructure operators can operate through public 5G networks.“
“This solicitation is conducted in collaboration with the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of the Under Secretary of Defense – Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) 5G Initiative and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). For this track, DOD OUSD(R&E) is partnering with NSF to develop joint strategic interests that simultaneously address convergence research and serve mission needs of the 5G to NextG Initiative.”
“Anticipated funding for FY2022 is $12,500,000, to support Phase 1 awards in FY 2022. Proposers may request up to $750,000 for Phase 1. Phase 2 awards will be made in FY2023. Phase 2 proposals may request up to $3,000,000 for year 1 and up to $5,000,000 in total for the 24-month Phase 2 project.”
