A virtual event presentation by Harris Bor

EVENT CO-SPONSORED BY:

Congregation Or Tzion

ABOUT THE EVENT:

AI raises innumerable questions about our desires for the future and what it means to be human. Can Judaism speak to these questions? Technology shows us what is possible. Can Jewish theology show us what is wise? Harris Bor explores these questions and other themes from his new book “Staying Human – A Jewish Theology for the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” Featuring Spinoza, Heidegger, terrible sci-fi films, and classical Jewish texts.

 

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Harris Bor is a Research Fellow and Lecturer at the London School of Jewish Studies and a barrister (trial advocate) specializing in international arbitration and commercial litigation. He has written in both the Jewish and legal fields. He holds a PhD in theology from Cambridge University, is a rabbinic scholar with the Montefiore Endowment, and has been a visiting scholar at Harvard University and University College London.
