Speaker: Leah Sargeant
Wednesday, December 2 | McCosh 28 | 5-6:15pm
The rapid progress of AI research poses serious dangers and opportunities. Rapidly improving AI means both serious threats to national security and the risk of further turning inward, away from human connection. However, the urgent question of what AI is, and what intelligence is for, has also made philosophers of everyone. The Church has answers to these questions; the question is if we can succeed in offering them.
Leah Sargeant is the author of The Dignity of Dependence, as well as Arriving at Amen and Building the Benedict Option. She works in public policy in Washington, D.C. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and elsewhere. She runs the substack Other Feminisms, a substack community focused on advocating for women in a world that makes an idol of autonomy. She is raising three children (the eldest of whom attended some Aquinas events when she and her husband worked at Princeton).
This lecture will be recorded.
