Survey: Human-AI culture

Tuesday, April 9th, 2019

A Doctor of Ministry student is conducting a research survey on a potentially mixed culture between humans and humanoid-AI robots (human-AI culture).

This survey is fun to join since there is no right or wrong answer, and it only takes two minutes to fill out. Your imagination will not only be helpful for this research, but will also take you on an adventure into the new world of humanity blended with AI technology and cyborgs in the next few decades.

If you have any questions, please contact Hoa Huu Nguyen at hnguyen07@georgefox.edu.
