On Monday 16th October, at St Chad's Church (Ladybarn), Dr Scott Midson, together with colleagues at the University of Manchester from Computer Science (including Prof Angelo Cangelosi and Dr David Rydeheard) and their robotic companion Pepper, presented and discussed how theological reflections on the common good can inform debate about the ethics of AI. (The talk has also been given at Sacred Trinity church in Salford.) The event was part of St Chad's successful 'Science and Religion' series, organised by Rev. Albert Radcliffe. A summary of the event is below.
