Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans

This eighteen issue of DIALOGO 2023.10.1 is dedicated to the general purpose of our endeavor, i.e., building a valuable and non-utopic dialogue between all science domains and as many theologies and spiritualities as possible. At the same time, we wanted to bring to the attention of the participants of this session a topic of increasing importance for human society and its not-too-distant future: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans. Finally, DIALOGO collects several articles related to artificial intelligence, consciousness, and other research valuable for the general purpose. We begin our effort with the question, "Is there any threat to human safety or our future existence, or is this lack only a fear of the unknown, otherwise unjustified (currently)?"
