Sonia Arrison, Longevity Mentorship | Career Counselling

The Foresight Institute Podcast

Sonia is a longevity investor via her company 100+ Capital, a women’s investor group called Portfolia, and advises BioVerge here in Silicon Valley. She also spends time helping the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI). She is helping A4LI streamline the political processes for advancing longevity research and therapies. When Sonia first moved to California from Canada in 1999, she helped educate congresspeople about the internet and digital technologies. She soon became interested in nanotechnology, and by extension the Foresight Institute. Her interests then turned toward longevity, and she began writing articles here and there about the topic. Peter Thiel convinced her to turn those articles into a book, “100+: how the coming age of longevity will change everything”.
This podcast explores valuable insights and guidance on career choices in the context of emerging technologies. Sonia Arrison shares her expertise and advice on navigating career paths in a rapidly evolving world. The discussion delves into topics such as the impact of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and other emerging fields on the job market, as well as strategies for finding fulfilling and impactful careers in these areas.
Session Summary: https://foresight.org/summary/career-counseling-with-sonia-arrison/

The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1987 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support.
Allison Duettmann is the president and CEO of Foresight Institute. She directs the Intelligent Cooperation, Molecular Machines, Biotech & Health Extension, Neurotech, and Space Programs, Fellowships, Prizes, and Tech Trees, and shares this work with the public. She founded Existentialhope.com, co-edited Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy, co-authored Gaming the Future, and co-initiated The Longevity Prize.
