The Programme Commission of the JKIRC was established under the leadership of Prof. Lukas Vischer, a Reformed theological figure in ecumenism since the 1960s https://hls-dhs-dss.ch/fr/articles/010895/2013-07-31/.
The CP aims to provide a framework for the sharing of ideas, particularly in the field of interfaith, with the backdrop of contemporary issues in their spiritual dimension.
The PC is composed of members linked to different local and international institutions; academics (UNIGE and others), people active in NGOs and church representatives (EPG - EERV - WCC - WCRC).
Two events of the John Knox Center, in cooperation with partner organizations of the International Geneva.
Will man still govern the machine or will the machine govern man? Hopes and fears in the relation between humans and machines dominate the current vital debates and power struggles. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the most important current machine-driverand symbol of the fourth industrial revolution: Is AI a key driver to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Or are we already so dependent on non-transparent AI devices that we lose our freedom and security? How can spirituality and faith help find a constructive and balanced way of using AI without making it a new God?
Each event takes place on a Thursday from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the John Knox Center and includes a keynote address, a panel discussion and a plenary discussion.
If there is interest, a working group can be set up for follow-up.
You will be asked to pay a contribution of CHF 20. The John Knox Centre is easily accessible by public transport (5 min walk from the WHO) and has a parking lot.
