Community Conversations: The Human Person in the Age of AI (in-person)
Advertisement
Come together with curious minds from our community here at the Franciscan Spirituality Center, Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and Viterbo University to explore the implications of being human in the age of AI. In this time of transformation, digital communication and artificial intelligence are rapidly shifting the ground beneath our feet. Bring your curiosity, fears, doubts and perhaps even excitement to this community conversation. We are called to live into these questions with hope, discernment and responsible action. All are welcome.
Each session will include a simple meal and a presentation on the background, implications and potential actions we can take; facilitated discussion in small groups; and time for reflection and questions.
