This four-part series, which was recorded on Zoom between 28 June and 10 July 2023, arises from the conclusion of the SI grant and the research done for it. In the wake of the 2023 ISSR summer conference on Artificial and Spiritual Intelligence, the speakers in this series were critical in bringing together the research and deliverables for this project. This first part, titled Spiritual Intelligence - the very idea, has ISSR Executive Secretary Fraser Watts provide an overview of the project and offer some detail on the motivations and challenges of the project. http://www.fraserwatts.co.uk/Then, ISSR Fellow Marius Dorobantu provides interesting context to the idea of artificial intelligence, theology, and the challenges and problems raised by general artificial intelligence having spiritual intelligence. https://research.vu.nl/en/persons/marius-dorobantuIt concludes with ISSR Fellow Harris Wiseman offering some discussion questions for both Fraser and Marius. http://epiphanyphilosophers.org/ep-history/principal-players/harris-wiseman/ISSR was founded for the promotion of education through inter-disciplinary learning and research in the field of "science and religion" (broadly conceived), conducted in an international and multi-(or non) faith context.
