The Shape of the World – a new comic drama

It was in 1735, that an expedition led by three Frenchmen
set out to discover the true shape of the earth, using
only measuring poles, maths and star sightings.  It was
an epic journey, during which they lost two of their
team, one of whom was murdered by the Spanish.  They
climbed the Andes mountains to accurately measure a 200
mile long path, travelled through uncharted parts of the
Amazon jungle at a time when it was still thought that
dragons were real and managed to make two very important
discoveries that would have a tremendous effect on the
western world.  Yet, during much of their adventure the
three Frenchmen had tremendous arguments and spent much
of their time refusing to speak to each other!

This was a quite perilous expedition and an almost
unbelievable experience undertaken by three amazing
characters.  This is their story, it’s delightful, it’s
funny, it’s a real adventure and it’s also true!

Morals in Artificial Intelligence

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals.   It includes any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Colloquially, the term “artificial intelligence” is applied when a machine mimics “cognitive” functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as “learning” and “problem solving”.   But what about morals?

 

Bob Sampson now works in IT after some years in the army.   He will describe the rise of AI, and how a future society might cope.   He will discuss the social, moral and religious impacts of such an environment on the human population.   He thinks Humanism is implicitly relevant in any such discussion.
