A Look at the Near Futures in the Shadow of AI Expansion

About this event

The expansion of artificial intelligence is not merely a technological transformation; this phenomenon is changing behavioral habits, ways of learning, work, human relationships, and even our conception of the good life. In this lecture, Hadi Samadi addresses the near futures; futures whose effects are already observable in our daily lives.

The focus of the discussion is not whether AI will achieve consciousness or autonomy. The main question is how the changes brought about by AI are transforming the nature and lifestyle of human beings, which aspects of these changes can contribute to greater well-being, and which aspects may pave the way for anxiety, depression, or individual and social turmoil.

This session will discuss child-rearing, preparation for job changes, confronting the wave of anxiety and depression, and simple strategies inspired by evolutionary biology. The program's emphasis is on informed decision-making: each individual should be able to decide on their own and their loved ones' approach to the new world with a more precise understanding of these changes.

This event is suitable for those interested in artificial intelligence, philosophy of technology, psychology, education, futures studies, and evolutionary biology. Attendance is free, but registration is required.
