THE HUMAN SIMULACRUM: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY OF A.I.
-
What is good about A.I.?
A.I. showcases human innovation and creativity. Mirroring human thought, these systems illuminate the intricacies of our creation, drawing parallels with divine artistry.
What is bad about A.I.?The unchecked advance of A.I. risks pushing society towards a latent totalitarianism. Its omnipresence and surveillance potentials may encroach upon our cherished freedoms, challenging our moral convictions.
What is the Ugly?The spread of A.I. threatens societal bifurcation. It may amplify biases and, worryingly, amplify the existing rise in humanist atheist policies, overshadowing faith's guiding light.

-
-
This talk delves into A.I.'s interplay with society and spirituality, underscoring the distinction between
simulating cognition and embodyingdivine consciousness and faith.
We must remember, while AI can simulate the wonders of human cognition,
the divine spark of consciousness, morality, and faith can never be replicated by lines of code.
This talk will be a wonderful resource for attendees of all ages - from children and teens to adults and those specializing in similar fields of study.
