USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Yoruba Affairs - JOIN US TODAY!: Falola to Deliver Public Lecture on Faith, AI and the Future of Knowledge

A magnificent lecture, a superb experience.

Christian philosoophy in relation to Biblical interpretation,  intersections of knowledge, ethics and society were brilliantly deployed in a measured reading and at times conversational voice.

Most memorable. A talk well suited to the audience but also universally resonant.

I acknowledge the cautionary tenor of the lecture in relation to AI but I wonder if we dont need more sensitivity to the enriching posdibilities of AI beyond its negativities and beyond its basic use which sidesteps its dangers.

We have entered a new era of knowledge. Having informatoon or even having knowledge is likely to reduce or cease to be a value in and of itself.

The value may be shifting to the individualization of knowledge, which some views of education understand as its core and which Falola points toward in referencing processes of learning and writing that cant be replicated by AI.
