“A Quaker Approach to a Wiser Earth in the Era of Artificial Intelligence”  

— a talk by Gray Cox at the West Falmouth Friends Meeting on January 14, 2024 Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world in ever more powerful and pervasive ways. How might it help promote what, in the FCNL phrase, is “The World We Seek”? In what ways does it threaten it? How can Quakers best understand the ethical, economic, political, cultural, technological and spiritual challenges and opportunities it presents? How can we, as individuals and as communities, best speak to that of God in others in the context of the powers of reasoning and persuasion being exercised through AI? This talk presents highlights from Gray’s new book which aims to offer a systematic Quaker perspective on these issues.
