Artificial Intelligence & Earth's Future

Joan Cerio welcomes return guest Susan Larison Danz who shares with us her knowledge of artificial intelligence. Is a technological civilization actually "advanced"? What if high technology is no more than a step in humanity’s progress? All civilizations must necessarily explore the astounding potentials of higher consciousness to truly advance. Will AI itself derive this inescapable conclusion? How can we envision and shift the future of the planet in a Higher Intelligence way?   Susan Larison Danz has degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science and has led multiple software projects and collaborations. She began her career interning in a Natural Language AI lab in 1985. Her MS thesis work in the early 1990's at the University of Illinois involved creating dynamically modifiable code for the Superconducting Supercollider project.  A lifelong researcher and writer, she has worked actively in the spiritual and non-profit community for 10+ years and has hosted The Frontier Beyond Fear Blog Talk Radio program since 2010. www.higherintelligence.net  www.frontierbeyondfear.com, www.lightedbridge.com Photo of Earth Courtesy of NASA.
