DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in artificial intelligence are transforming many aspects of human life. This seminar will address how AI works and is being used today, as well as the advantages and drawbacks of future developments in the areas of machine learning, deep learning and generative AI.

We will explore how AI as a tool is both a complement and a threat to human intelligence and will discuss the moral and ethical standards Christians can apply to determine its use. Attendance on Saturday only is an option.

Retreat leader George F. McHendry, Jr., PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies and the Timms Endowed Professor and Director of the Magis Core Curriculum.
