I think that 4 will be solved: "What is the nature of consciousness, and how does it arise?". Because AI language models are very similar to consciousness and have revived discussion on the topic.

I think that 7 will be solved: "What is the cure for cancer and other diseases that afflict humankind?". Because we have already made huge progress on cancer and significant medical discoveries in general in the past few decades. It seems highly likely that cancer will be all but cured, if not cured entirely, in the next

I think that 9 will be solved: "How can we develop a sustainable society that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs?". Because we *will* be one of the future generations, we will need to figure out how to meet our needs from the parent generation's actions. We will have more empathy towards further generations and better prepare for them.

I think that 10 will be solved: "How can we reverse or mitigate the effects of climate change?". Because climate change will have a significantly larger impact in the next few decades, it will become a much more urgent and immediate issue so more effort will go towards solutions.

I think that 13 will be solved: "How can we ensure the ethical use of advanced technologies, such as AI and genetic engineering?" Because these technologies will be used much more frequently, and if we do not ensure ethical use, we are bound to have serious ethical disasters which will encourage us to prevent future ones.

I think that 14 will be solved: "What is the relationship between the mind and the brain?" Because it is very similar to 4. Although it 
highly depends on what you mean by "mind" (i.e. is this just "what is the nature of consciousness?" restated)

I think that 15 will be solved: "How can we achieve true artificial general intelligence, and what are the risks and benefits of such technology?" As it seems we are almost if not at true AGI, albiet "baby" AGI, and once we discover AGI we will soon discover the benefits and consequences.

I do not think that the others will be solved, though I am of course optimistic. While they are really important questions, I believe we have been working on them for a long time and have not made so much progress, and they are not tangible enough to get urgent attention. In contrast, many of the questions that I believe we will answer, we seem to have made significant developments, especially with AI. And the remaining ones, such as climate change and sustainability, will become urgent issues soon if they are not addressed, so I think we will work especially hard to address them.
