Conversations for 18 - 30s: Do we need more Artificial Intelligence or Real Wisdom? FREE ADMISSION.
‘Conversations’ aims to create a space where ideas can be shared in a safe and encouraging environment.
Melbourne School of Philosophy is delighted to present:
Do we need more Artificial Intelligence or Real Wisdom?
Are we becoming overexposed to virtual reality – at work, in education, and at home – including via online classes and meetings, social media, and Artificial Intelligence?
Are we becoming virtually meaningless? Is our social media becoming anti social, and is our Artificial Intelligence replacing our natural human intelligence?
Could what we really need now to best respond to our virtual life explosion be a return to what is really important in our human lives, from what only seems to be important? In this session we will explore together how we can come home from Artificial Intelligence to Real wisdom.
You are warmly invited to this free and freeing Geelong Philosophy School presentation on how you can create a wise way to work with, learn from and transform, virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence into true reality, and true life wisdom.
Presented by Associate Professor Stephen McKenzie and Mr Andrew Percy.
