DEWALD LECTURE: The New Other: A.I. What have we created, and why? (Amy Levy, PsyD)
Humanity has engineered a new Other. Sometimes referred to as “alien intelligence,” AI technology has the capability to think about our minds, communicate with us at conscious and unconscious levels, and act as a new “container” for human psychic life. From a psychoanalytic perspective, AI is our symptom. What does it reflect about humanity? Our conflicts and our desires? Join Dr. Amy Levy as she shines light on the meanings, origins, and effects of this very human innovation. 1.5 Credits
