An exploration of the evolving relationship between intelligence (artificial and otherwise), knowledge, and what it means to be human in the 21st century.

What are the societal implications of increasingly capable AI systems? Can we cling to the idea that human intelligence is singular? Should AI be a public good —accessible and beneficial to all — or tightly regulated in the name of keeping the public safe? Could an AI ever be a ‘person’? How do these technologies prompt us to redefine human purpose and value in an AI-augmented world?

Rather than fearing AI, we should embrace its potential while thoughtfully navigating the ethical considerations that accompany its development.
