Description

All new technologies force us to ask how Torah can respond to, or shape the development of, such changes. Artificial Intelligence, especially generative AI, has raised many new questions, both moral and practical, and a language must be found to frame these issues religiously. In this course we will focus on how AI changes the way we think about halakhic decision making and the goals of education, especially when AI can seemingly do many of the things previously done by human beings.
