Dr Mark Vernon Spiritual Intelligence in an Age of Pervasive AI

Dr Mark Vernon – Spiritual Intelligence in an Age of Pervasive AI


How can spiritual intelligence help us in a world shaped by AI?

 

In an era of pervasive AI, Dante offers a way cultivating the types of intelligence that are squeezed out with the dominance of machine-thinking. His masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, presents a range of images and insights that foster our spiritual intelligence. Using a selection from the wonderful illustrations that portray the journey through hell, purgatory and paradise, as well as describing what happens to Dante as he travels and transforms, Mark Vernon will talk about Dante’s relevance for today, without presuming any prior knowledge.
