Jamie Metzl Biography
Jamie Metzl is one of the world’s leading technology and healthcare futurists. He is the Founder and Chair of the global social movement OneShared.World, a Senior Fellow of the Atlantic Council, a faculty member of NextMed Health, and a Singularity University expert. His new book, "Superconvergence: How the Genetics, Biotech, and AI Revolutions Will Transform Our Lives, Work, and World," was released on June 11. Metzl is the author of the bestseller "Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity," the acclaimed science fiction novels "Genesis Code" and "Eternal Sonata," and other books. He appears regularly on national and international media, and his syndicated columns and other writings on science, technology, and global affairs are featured in publications across the globe.
In 2019, Metzl was appointed to the World Health Organization expert advisory committee on human genome editing. Called “the original COVID-19 whistleblower,” Metzl’s pioneering work raising common-sense questions about the origins of COVID-19 and advocating for a full investigation has been featured in 60 Minutes, the New York Times, and most major media around the world. He was the lead witness in the first congressional hearings on pandemic origins in March 2023.
A former partner in a global private equity firm, he sits on advisory boards for multiple biotechnology and other companies and helped establish the WisdomTree BioRevolution Exchange Traded Fund (ticker: WDNA). He previously served in the U.S. National Security Council, State Department, and Senate Foreign Relations Committee and with the United Nations in Cambodia. Metzl holds a Ph.D. from Oxford, a law degree from Harvard, and an undergraduate degree from Brown and is an avid ironman triathlete and ultramarathon runner.

Jamie Metzl Speaking Topics
The rapid growth and proliferation of astounding new AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek are just one part of an even bigger story. After nearly four billion years of life on earth, our species suddenly has the increasing ability to engineer novel intelligence and re-engineer life. The essential question for us and our planet is whether we can quickly learn to use these almost godlike powers wisely. Leading technology and healthcare futurist and Superconvergence author Jamie Metzl explores how interconnected advances in AI, genetics, biotechnology, and other fields are driving fundamental changes in how we live and work, our economies, our healthcare, the foods we eat, and our interactions with the world around us – and what we each and all can do to optimize the very tangible benefits and minimize the equally real potential harms.
The transition from today’s system of generalized medicine based on population averages to the new model of precision healthcare based on each person’s individual biology is already well underway. However, the use of new generative AI systems and the precision medicine tools of genome sequencing, big data analytics, and targeted gene therapies to treat cancer and other diseases are paving the way for a further transition to more predictive and preventive healthcare. In this talk, Jamie Metzl elucidates how the tools and capabilities of the intersecting artificial intelligence, genetics, and biotechnology revolutions are transforming healthcare and lays out key principles for how health industry professionals, the business community, governments, and individuals can prepare for a revolution that is coming far sooner than most people recognize.
Faster than most people understand or appreciate, our growing, superhuman capabilities to restructure the building blocks of life will fundamentally alter the way we prevent and treat disease, generate energy, grow food, store data, create industrial materials, and much more. Just like the information technology revolution started small and then “ate the world,” the biology revolution is about to change much of everything. Most businesses and other organizations are not ready. In this mind-expanding talk, visionary futurist Jamie Metzl describes how the biotechnology revolution will play out over the coming years and what we can all do on a personal, professional, and global level to prepare and thrive.
Jamie Metzl has been called “the original COVID-19 whistleblower” for his pioneering work probing the origins of the pandemic, which has been covered by 60 Minutes and in almost every major newspaper across the globe. Understanding how the pandemic began has massive implications for preventing the next one, but efforts to do just that have been hampered at every turn. In this pioneering talk, Jamie opens up about the epic and ongoing struggle for a full investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and what it will take to build a safer future for all.
Most everybody knows we should exercise, eat well, build meaningful communities, and reduce stress to live healthy longer. But the revolutionary new science of human life extension is creating enticing new possibilities for using technology to extend our lives far beyond what nature intended. While the quest for immortality has been the stuff of fairy tales, the new science of life extension will soon be pushing the limits of aging and unlocking human potential in ways our ancestors never could have imagined. Technology futurist Jamie Metzl explores the latest breakthroughs in the science of human life extension that promise to gain more of life‘s most precious commodity: time. Jamie explains what individuals, companies, and governments must do now to prepare for this revolutionary future that will fundamentally reorganize our societies and global economics.

The Metaverse Could Become an Oppressive Dystopia. It Needs a Congress | Opinion
Facebook's recent announcement that it had changed its name to Meta in anticipation of the two-dimensional internet morphing into an immersive 3-D Metaverse has unleashed a boom in speculation about our digital future, along with investor interest. While no one can yet know exactly what the Metaverse will be, it's already clear that our personal and professional lives will increasingly be lived in interactive and communal virtual spaces that will sometimes feel more like multi-player video games than like searching today's web.
