The Ethics of AI

Humanism Explorations Meeting 

March 17, 2024,  3 to 5 P.M.

Artificial Intelligence: Promise or Peril? 

The capabilities of AI have grown rapidly in recent months.  We can now converse in human-like dialog with generative AI, as well request the  creation of  detailed images, video, music, imaginative stories or answers to complex logical or logistical  problems. 

Will powerful AI technologies aide in advancing human flourishing and well being or will it take our jobs, deliver fake news, as well as fake politics, gender and racially biased information or confabulated "facts"?  Could Artificial intelligence achieve or even surpass human level intelligence? We will explore these questions as well as the meaning of the new AI vocabulary.
