Dr Matthias Rang: Rediscover Human Capabilities in the Face of AI Technology

Dr Matthias Rang is the Head of the Natural Sciences Section at the Goetheanum and Trustee of Ruskin Mill Centre for Research.

Powerlessness, like loneliness, is one of the most negative and paralysing experiences in our modern society. In this talk, we will attempt to examine the religious, social and technological developments, particularly in information technology and AI, which underlie this feeling. What is their spiritual significance for humans and the Earth? One focus will be on human embodiment: on the one hand, this is accompanied by a feeling of powerlessness, but on the other hand, it is precisely this embodiment that enables us to free ourselves from this feeling of powerlessness in steps.

This duality can be seen as a spiritual interdependence on which humanity is based. Greater awareness of this fact could have a positive impact on societal developments and may help to overcome the feeling of powerlessness on different levels.
