SUMMARY:Internal Event - Teaching AI to Care: Prioritizing Wisdom and Compassion over Raw Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:What if the key to safe AI and AGI isn’t making it smarter\, but making it wiser? AI and Faith Research Fellow Mark Graves discusses his approach to AI development that prioritizes practical wisdom and compassion over raw intelligence. We explore how ancient philosophical traditions from Aristotle to Buddhism could guide the next generation of AI systems\, and why suffering should be central to AI ethics. Moreover\, how can we embed said wisdom and compassion in AI systems? How can we measure it? Additionally\, we’ll also explore how healthcare applications are already demonstrating what compassionate AI looks like in practice. This conversation challenges conventional thinking about AI safety and offers a surprisingly hopeful vision for human-AI collaboration. \n

SUMMARY:AI x Summit | University of Wisconsin\, Madison
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of conversation at the intersection of artificial intelligence\, responsibility\, and faith. Todd Korpi\, author of AI Goes to Church\, leads a practical exploration of how AI can serve ministry while helping leaders navigate technology responsibly and faithfully. Next\, a public panel organized by the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Center for Humanistic Inquiry into AI and Uncertainty features UW faculty examining not just what AI can do\, but what it should do\, and how communities can shape its influence with insight\, care\, and awareness. The day concludes with an evening of exploration into the profound questions at the heart of today’s AI revolution with theologian and computer scientist Noreen Herzfeld\, drawing from her acclaimed book The Artifice of Intelligence — examining how artificial intelligence challenges our understanding of human uniqueness\, the image of God\, and what it means to love our neighbors in an increasingly digital world. Greg Cootsona\, Executive Director of AI and Faith\, will join Herzfeld in conversation following her presentation. \nMore information here: https://isthmus.com/events/ai-x-summit/
