The Cambridge Project for Existential Risk       June 29, 2012

Concerned that developments in human technology may soon pose new,
extinction-level risks to our species as a whole, Astronomer Royal Martin
Rees, Cambridge University philosopher Huw Price, and Skype co-founder Jaan
Tallinn have formed The Cambridge Project for Existential Risk.
