In this interview with <\/a>Peter Diamandis, visionary futurist, serial entrepreneur, best known, as Founder of the XPRIZE Foundation, co-Founder and executive chairman of Singularity University, named by Fortune as one of the “World\u2019s 50 Greatest Leaders”, we delved into the inspiration behind the renowned XPRIZE initiative. Peter reflects on his frustration with the limited avenues for private space exploration in the early \u201990s, leading to the creation of XPRIZE to incentivize groundbreaking endeavors. Over the years, XPRIZE has evolved to address grand challenges across various fields, from space and ocean exploration to education and healthcare. Peter emphasizes the importance of incentivizing entrepreneurs to tackle ambitious endeavors and shift focus from mundane pursuits to transformative innovations. The conversation delves into Peter\u2019s vision for extending the healthy human lifespan and explores his thoughts on emerging technologies, including blockchain and AI. Peter discusses his beliefs in Bitcoin as a transformative force and its potential to empower individuals.<\/p>\n

Anna Tutova: Your main baby is probably XPRIZE. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peter Diamandis: <\/strong>Yeah, so the XPRIZE began really from my personal frustration of wanting to get to space. And I realized that unless you are a government astronaut (this is back in the early nineties) your chance of becoming an astronaut was very low. And so, I read that <\/a>Lindbergh<\/a> in 1927 crossed the Atlantic to win a prize and said: \u00abI\u2019m going to create a prize for private spaceflight\u00bb. And it worked. It took a decade to go from the original idea to being one, but it kicked off the commercial spaceflight industry, suborbital flights and then created the regulatory regime and attracted people to the field. And since then, we\u2019ve launched about $300 million of XPRIZEs, prizes to map the ocean floor, to pull water out of the atmosphere of CO2, for teaching kids in the middle of no place reading, writing and arithmetic without adults, without schools. We just launched XPRIZE to detect and put out wildfires autonomously.<\/p>\n

We launched over half a $1 billion of prizes, including the\u00a0$100M Carbon Removal XPRIZE, funded by Elon Musk\u00a0and Musk Foundation (awarded in 2025) and the\u00a0$101M\u00a0Healthspan XPRIZE<\/a>\u00a0(announced 2023). So, it\u2019s really about incentivizing entrepreneurs to try and take on bigger moonshots.<\/p>\n

One of my missions is: can I incentivize people to think bigger?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want people to build another photo sharing app. Go and cure one of a disease, go and transform food, water, energy, health care, education, because you can.<\/p>\n

Anna: What are other issues you see, which you\u2019d like to address and make another competition for XPRIZE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking at XPRIZEs in areas like happiness. Can we build technology to detect when we are happy, and can we run experiments to maximize happiness? I\u2019m looking at XPRIZEs for earthquake prediction, XPRIZEs for detecting asteroids and deflecting them.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a multitude of grand challenges. One of my AI XPRIZEs, I\u2019m excited about, that we\u2019re developing is: can you build a system that can allow you to reliably communicate two ways with animals.<\/p>\n

We look at prizes in food and water, and healthcare and education, in space exploration and ocean exploration. What is an area that isn\u2019t moving fast enough, where a prize would incentivize people? One of the big areas I\u2019m focused on is extending the healthy human lifespan.<\/p>\n

Anna:<\/strong> On your Twitter, you<\/strong> <\/strong><\/a>put the question<\/strong><\/a>: \u00abWhat will you create, where will you explore, and how will you spend your time if you are able to add an additional 40 healthy years to your life?\u00bb. So, the …<\/strong><\/p>\n
