Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is rarely out of the news. But what is
it? In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues, Rupert
Sheldrake and Mark Vernon take a lead from the breakthrough by
Google in the prediction of protein folding, which Rupert has
studied for decades. Whether this success reveals any deeper
understanding of nature leads to a discussion of different types
of intelligence, such as emotional and spiritual. They consider
what is lost when AI dominates the imagination, and obscures
aspects of reality that are embodied, and those that reach
beyond, such as pure consciousness.
