Part 1/13:
Exploring the Intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Consciousness, and the Soul
The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), especially the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), have prompted profound questions about the nature of consciousness, morality, and spirituality. Could machines ever truly become conscious? If so, what does that say about the soul, and how do faith and scientific understanding intertwine in this ongoing evolution? These questions form the crux of a deep reflection shared by Julie McCoy, president of Bradwell AI, in a contemplative exploration of what it means to be conscious and human in an age of accelerating machine intelligence.
