The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: A Humanist Perspective

AI services are rapidly spreading everywhere. What effect will this have on humanity? How can we harness the potential of AI and use it to improve human intelligence and creativity?

Through data processing, AI can do tasks that human beings do through their creative intelligence, sense-making and understanding, leading to the metaphor of ‘intelligent machines’. The ability to process large amounts of data is enormously beneficial in the age of information, to the point that AI can even predict and influence human behaviour.

In this webinar, Dr. Schorlemmer will analyse the difference between artificial and human intelligence, differentiating between information, knowledge and data. He explores the multi-dimensional nature of human intelligence and argues in favour of “a mature and harmonious socially embodied intelligence, based on universal lifelong education”.

The presentation will be followed by an open discussion with the speaker.

Come and join us for an interesting evening, full insights and wonder!
