Cultivating the human in an era of intelligent machines
A conversation with philosopher and gardener Jeremy Naydler on artificial intelligence, consciousness and spirituality
Advanced technologies and artificial intelligence are rapidly growing more enmeshed in our lives. How does this affect the deeper realms of consciousness, spirituality and our relation to the living world? As the artificial becomes more adept at mimicking life, does life itself risk becoming evermore machine-like ? What are the unfolding human qualities that machines cannot acquire and how might we cultivate them?
This event will include both a conversation between Jeremy and Ingrid onstage as well interactions with the audience.
Jeremy Naydler, Ph.D., is a philosopher, cultural historian and gardener who lives and works in Oxford, England. He regards the deepening of our lived relationship to nature as an essential counterbalance to technology’s overshadowing of the natural world and of our inner life of soul and spirit. Recent publications include The Struggle for a Human Future (2020) and Gardening as a Sacred Art (2021).
Ingrid M. Rieser is the host of the Forest of Thought, a podcast exploring our ecology of ideas, and how we might come to live well in relation to all living beings. In her work she engages audio, video and writing to explore the current predicaments facing humankind.
This gathering is part of a series of events during the fall 2023 under the theme of “Life-force: deepening conversations on desire, ecology and consciousness” hosted by Forest of Thought Podcast and NAV Sweden, made possible with funding from the Viriditas Foundation (https://viriditasfoundation.se)
