Wesley Conversations that Matter #4 The Ethics of Ai and Human Rights
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other new digital technologies are developing at lightning speed and changing almost every part of our world, from media to education to health care and the economy. The opportunities are real, and so are the risks. How can we make sure that the most vulnerable among us are protected from the potential harms of AI? In this conversation, former Human Rights Commissioner Edward Santow and Research Officer Daniel Nellor, will discuss the need to put human rights at the centre of our efforts to control these powerful and pervasive new technologies.
Wesley Conversations that Matter #3 Facing Death in a Death-denying Culture
with Dr Brian Macallan - theologian, philosopher, and author of "Forgiving God: Embracing a Risky Adventure with the Divine"
How does our understanding of death inform the way we live? How do we talk about death in a culture that prefers not to think about it? Can suffering ever be redemptive? How should thinking about suffering and death inform the way we think about God, or the absence of God? Dr Brian Macallan is a theologian, philosopher, and cancer-survivor. In this Wesley Conversation, he will talk to Robyn Whitaker about facing his own death and how his notions of God radically changed as a result.
Wesley Conversations that Matter #2 The Ethics of Voting
With a Federal Election coming up we sit down with two long-serving politicians to reflect on the ethics of voting as part of the Wesley “Conversations that Matter” series. What are the big issues facing Australia this election? Whose interests do we have in mind when we vote? What is our moral obligation to others?
Join us as we talk with John Pesutto, Liberal member for Hawthorn and former Leader of the Opposition in Victoria, and Bronwyn Pike, former Labor MP and current CEO of Uniting VicTas, about the state of our democracy, the big issues this election, and the values behind the politics.
Reconciliation and the Referendum: Where are we now
14th October marks one year since a majority of Australians voted "No" in the Referendum for an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Federal Parliament. We want to mark the occasion by hearing from Aboriginal peoples, reflecting on the role media and colonialism played, and responding theologically.
