# Foresight Institute Nonprofit founded in 1986 by [[Eric Drexler]] and Christine Peterson to promote molecular nanotechnology, later broadening to longevity, neurotech, AI safety, and "existential hope" tech-futurism. A long-running node in the transhumanist / longtermist network whose optimistic framing of radical technology connects to the contemporary tech-right's accelerationism. *Stub — expand with: the nanotech advocacy years, the prizes and conferences, the pivot to longevity/AI, key affiliated figures.*
