  • Description
    Artificial intelligence (AI) is a dynamic field within computer science, promising the creation of machines possessing human-like intelligence. From pop culture references like "The Terminator" to "Blade Runner," "The Matrix," and "Her," various depictions envision AI's potential outcomes. However, these scenarios remain distant—true human-like AI is far from realization. Nonetheless, we're in the Age of AI; while not akin to science fiction, AI wields substantial influence in human affairs. Assessing its impact, I'll explore whether AI enhances or diminishes human flourishing from an Aristotelian/Thomistic perspective. Does AI make us more or less human? This talk delves into the philosophical implications, scrutinizing how AI technologies intersect with our humanity in the ongoing pursuit of progress.
