SUMMARY:AI Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Joined by guest speaker\, Dr. Edmund Furse\, we will be exploring an overview of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning\, current applications of AI\, ethical challenges\, the longer-term implications of AI\, and theological questions raised by AI. \nMORE ABOUT THE MORNING \nIn recent years\, Christian theologians have shown a growing interest in exploring the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This talk will be structured as follows: First\, we will provide an overview of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning\, explaining their key concepts. Next\, we will explore current applications of AI and examine some of the ethical challenges they present. Following this\, we will delve into the longer-term implications of AI\, including the potential development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). Finally\, we will consider some thought-provoking theological questions raised by AI\, such as the possibility of robots requesting baptism and the broader issues that such scenarios might entail. \nAfter the lecture we will have a Q&A time open to the floor\, followed by tea\, coffee and pastries. \nMORE ABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER \nDr Edmund Furse has worked in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cognitive Science for over 40 years. He is the author of 20 published academic papers. His first paper\, The Theology of Robots\, was published in 1986 but he is also known for his research into the AI of mathematics with his Mathematics Understander (MU) system.
