Subject: Invitation to a one-day conference on AI and faith
You are cordially invited to a One Day Conference on Mon 11th Sept 2023, 9.30am – 5pm: What is the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on humanity? Should we be afraid of being replaced? It brings great benefits but what are the real risks and dangers? AI raises so many questions, maybe especially for believers who have the belief in a divine spark in every human being. Yet AI is powered by an electrical spark. Join this very timely dialogue to consider ethics, humanity, freedom, spirituality. It’s time to ask what it means to be free and contemplate Frankenstein’s legacy.
