#@SALUTATION@#,
The development of Artificial Intelligence concerns all domains, ranging from politics to religion, and from ethics to philosophy. During our round table on the topic, we would like to focus on the influence that AI has on these various fields and practices.
In this personal content hub, you will find various articles to provide some background on the topic. This hub also contains the agenda, instructions on how to join the round table, and the key questions we would like to discuss. I am looking forward to meeting you.
Best regards,
Matthias Smalbrugge
Welcome!
Introduction by Matthias Smalbrugge
In preparation for our round table, Matthias Smalbrugge introduces the topic of Artificial Intelligence.
Church and science over the years
The relationship between science and religion has never been easy and has been often contradictory. This article will explore the relationship between science and the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) throughout history. It will focus on Galileo's affair, Evolutionary Theory, and AI technology.
Can you teach new robots old tricks?
AI needs ethics. But what system of ethics does it need? Good Laws? Noble Goals? Healthy habits? 2004’s blockbuster ‘I, Robot’ explores which kind of ethics AI might need. Its suggestion might be shocking. Even more shockingly, what if, in fact, AI will need a theology of grace?
AI and privacy in Europe
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) represents an unprecedented intrusion into our private lives. While Europe has seen advances in both regulation and ethics to protect personal data, these seem inadequate to take back control from the governments and private industry who control AI, and with it, our privacy.
Questions for discussion
Based on the background articles above, we would like to discuss three questions with you during our virtual round table.
