Artificial Intelligence can make our everyday lives easier and speed along innovation. It also looms as a sci-fi threat that can be weaponized against people, endanger livelihoods, squash human creativity and exacerbate divisions. Join us for a conversation about what it means to be human in an age of rapidly transforming technologies.

Ken Chitwood will moderate a discussion with experts studying different sides of Artificial Intelligence:

• Darby Vickers, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, University of San Diego
• Stephen Aguilar, Associate Professor of Education, USC Rossier
• Ulf Hermjakob, Senior Research Scientist, USC Information Sciences Institute

“How Then Shall We Live?” is a series of conversations that examines critical issues shaping how humanity lives together today: the environment, polarization and artificial intelligence. Experts will share their perspectives on the path forward for society. These discussions will prompt participants to consider their own lives in the light of climate change, divisiveness and technological development. 

Our host Ken Chitwood is the Scholar-in-Residence at First Lutheran Venice and an affiliated scholar with the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture.
