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.

Come join us at 7 p.m. tonight (Tuesday) as J. Daryl Charles and Mark David Hall, coeditors of America and the Just War Tradition: A History of U.S. Conflicts, discuss their recently published book.

The authors will provide a brief overview of the book, then Ron Mock and Gina Miller will respond to it. We’ll leave plenty of time for questions, comments and objections from the audience. We will meet in Hoover 105.

The panel may address questions such as: Is the just war tradition compatible with biblical Christianity? Was the War for American Independence a just war? What is the most unjust war America has ever fought? Was any war fought in a perfectly just manner? Does modern military technology make the just war tradition obsolete?
