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.

An Introduction To Humanism  Part 2

We will continue our discussion of Humanism and explore future discussion topics.  See below for resource links.

Many people are uncertain what is meant by the term "humanism".  Some may think of psychological or perhaps literary, cultural or renaissance humanism. Others consider humanitarian aid services while still others may dread a “godless” amoral humanism or even imagine a diabolical or pernicious humanism.  We will explore and clarify popular myths and misconceptions regarding secular humanism.
