Our first PARC Forum of 2025 asked: What emerging technologies are poised to fundamentally transform the way we work, play, and live?
SRI’s PARC Forum brings together some of the world’s leading thinkers for conversations at the intersection of technology, business, and society.
Our FutureFest 2025 conversation focused on the future of “moonshots” — the audacious, complicated, expensive, and deeply impactful technology innovations that permanently reshape society.
Pulitzer Prize-winning technology journalist John Markoff moderated a conversation with Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at X (formerly Google X), and David Parekh, CEO of SRI. Together, they explored how today’s groundbreaking innovations are solving some of humanity’s greatest challenges, touching on AI, robotics, quantum, space, biotech, and much more.

“Find ways to have the technologies that present themselves to you throughout your life supercharge your ability to learn … rather than being threatened by those things when they come online.” — Astro Teller
