What is AI? And what is Jewish thought?

Together, we will unpack the basics of AI, the different forms it can take and some bigger ideas like machine learning and superintelligence. Drawing on Jewish thought and practice, we will also explore how these perspectives can offer powerful insights into understanding this transformative technology and its radical impact on our world.

Who teaches the course?
Dr Asher Kessler completed his PhD at the London School of Economics focusing on the intellectual history of ‘Big Tech’. His research focuses specifically upon Facebook/Meta, examining how high-level actors in and around the company came to think and speak about time, space, and their ability to change the world around them. Other than this, Asher has worked on questions of how Jewish thought might be used to navigate contemporary technological transformations.
