"We're talking about a technology that could change our world in pretty fundamental ways—in fact, in ways that are impossible to predict."

This statement makes no sense, but he is covering all the bases; no matter what happens, he can say he was right.

If it's impossible to predict, how does he know it's going to change our lives in fundamental ways?

And what good is the "science" if it can't make any definitive or useful predictions? You might as well guess.

He means that the changes will be big (a prediction he's willing to make), but that all kinds of unpredictable scientific and sociological things could follow.

This guy has plenty of ideas about what could result, and he could make predictions about that. He doesn't know the scope of the changes, other than that they will be grand.
