Nick Bostrom (Boström in the original Swedish) is a philosopher at the University of Oxford, and known for his work on the anthropic principle. Bostrom was also the co-founder (with David Pearce) of the World Transhumanist Association; as of December 2003, he is the chair of that institution. In 2004, along with James Hughes, Bostrom co-founded the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies. In addition to his prolific writing for academic and popular press, Bostrom makes frequent media appearances in which he talks about transhumanism-related topics such as cloning, artificial intelligence, mind transfer, cryonics, nanotechnology, and the simulated reality. He has recently been appointed director of the Oxford Future of Humanity Institute. ==See also== *Doomsday argument *Simulated reality#Is_this_a_simulated_reality.3F ==External links== * [http://www.nickbostrom.com/ Nick Bostrom's homepage]. * Bostrom's [http://www.anthropic-principle.com/ Anthropic Principle] page, containing information about the anthropic principle and the Doomsday argument. * Bostrom's [http://www.simulation-argument.com/ Simulation Argument] page. * [http://www.oxfhi.ox.ac.uk/ Oxford Future of Humanity Institute] Transhumanists
