The Dramaturgy & Dramatic Criticism program at the David Geffen School of Drama is pleased to invite you to an upcoming Hot Topics lecture at Humanities Quadrangle Room 276 on Thursday, November 10 at 3:30 pm.
This event will focus especially on the latest and potential uses and abuses of artificial intelligence, for example for manipulating people as consumers and as citizens – but other topics within the broader theme are also discussed. The conference will also feature the awarding of the Ninth Annual Amartya Sen Essay Prizes. Jeffrey Sachs and Ralph Nader will give keynote addresses.
Lecture on Meditation: “We all live under pressure to meld our thoughts into those of larger groups: political, identity, social media, and this can alienate us from our sense of ourselves. At the same time we get isolated in front of our screens. Meditation is a traditional way of enhancing our autonomy and stability, and of stimulating generous and charitable attitudes. It links us to wisdom of the ancients and to contemporary neuroscience.”
Lecture by Dr. Paul R. Fleischman,
Nov. 10th at 4-5pm
