SUMMARY:First Thursdays: Intelligence, Consciousness, or a Soul?
DESCRIPTION:Intelligence, Consciousness, or a Soul? Some Jewish Views on AI\nPresented by Rabbi Geoffrey Mitelman\nThursday, December 4 at 7:30 pm (Zoom only)\nHow do we define “intelligence” and how do we define “artificial”? Does AI have consciousness? A soul? And while traditional Jewish texts wouldn’t know about ChatGPT, what analogies can we draw from Biblical, Rabbinic and later Jewish texts?\nOur speaker, Rabbi Geoffrey A. Mitelman is the Founding Director of Sinai and Synapses, an organization that bridges the scientific and religious worlds, and is being incubated at Clal – The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership. His work has been supported by the John Templeton Foundation, Emanuel J. Friedman Philanthropies, and the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation, and his writings about the intersection of religion and science have been published in the books Seven Days, Many Voices and A Life of Meaning (both published by the CCAR press) and These Truths We Hold (published by HUC Press) as well as on The Huffington Post, Nautilus, Orbiter, The Wisdom Daily, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, and My Jewish Learning. He has been an adjunct professor at both the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion and the Academy for Jewish Religion, and is an internationally sought-out teacher, presenter, and scholar-in-residence.\nNo cost for congregants; $15 per non-congregant.\nRegistration required so we may adequately prepare.\n
