A $10M animal-intelligence XPRIZE and a forecast that Colossal could birth mammals outside the womb

In posts shared September 27, 2026, Peter Diamandis said Palmer Luckey is backing a $10M XPRIZE focused on animal intelligence, with the goal of communicating with wild animals in their own language. Diamandis said Luckey was more concerned about bad actors using increasingly capable AI than about AI itself becoming dangerous. He also recounted Ben Lamm’s view that tens of thousands of mammoths could ultimately be possible and Lamm’s prediction that Colossal could birth mammals fully outside the womb within 24 months.
