Salon discussions gave birth to the nation-state, freedoms, and rights.
In Enlightenment-era Paris, people gathered over coffee for discussions of a better future.
Announcing @TheAISalonSF, an SF-based community that hosts weekly conversations on AI and Society. 1/🧵
The AI Salon is coming to Twitter Spaces! We'll be hosting spaces Wednesdays at 7pm PST weekly here on X
If you're interested joining as a speaker for future events please DM us or @andercot
Our next Ai Salon session will be on Religion. Here's what people are interested in discussing:
- How does Ai help us understand our existing religious traditions?
- Will there be room for spirituality in a technology dominated future?
- Are we giving birth to some kind of god?
Join us Sunday March 24th to discuss the Eschatology of a Technological Singularity.
Topics may include semiotic physics, constructed realities, computational universe, and the cognition of simulacra.
"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him"
AI will continue to grow as both a conduit and object of religious experience. We dove into this at an Ai Salon last year.

Our first space will be Wednesday January 24th with the topic of AI and Personhood - who do we consider members of our society and will it always be limited to just humans?
Ai Salon has more events coming your way! Here's a look at our upcoming calendar:

This was one of the very best events I have ever been to in SF. Terrific discussion around the societal implications of generative AI, cautious optimism, properly weighing near-term risks, and so much more.
You have built something truly special @Andercot and @Ian_Eisenberg!
Our next salon is about education. This is one of the areas where AI seems poised to have tremendous benefit. Looking forward to the discussion!
