Generative Artificial...

Jerry Kaplan

Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have created a new class of computer systems that exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance, producing novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized information. Soon, these systems will provide expert medical care; offer legal advice; draft documents; write computer programs; tutor our children; and generate music and art. These advances will accelerate progress in science, art, and human knowledge, but they will also bring new dangers. 
 
 
 
Have we finally discovered the holy grail of AI—machines that match or exceed human intelligence? Which industries and professions will thrive, and which will wither? What risks and dangers will it pose? How can we ensure that these systems respect our ethical principles? Will the benefits be broadly distributed or accrue to a lucky few? How will GAI alter our political systems and international conflicts? Are we merely a stepping stone to a new form of non-biological life, or are we just getting better at building useful gadgets? 
 
 
 
Generative Artificial Intelligence: What Everyone Needs to Know® equips listeners with the knowledge to answer these pressing questions.

Reimagining The Divine - A...

Dara Molloy

  
The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
  
Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
  
Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
  
Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
  
The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
If your vision for the future is 
·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.

Hope for Caregivers - A 42-Day...

Henri Nouwen

"Caregiving is the holy act of the literal laying of hands on another to help and to heal. It requires strength, courage, and commitment to serve another intimately with dignity, respect, and love. The giving of such care, however, gives the one who cares a glimpse into God's priceless kenotic gift to humanity. This beautiful and important devotional based on Nouwen's magnanimous wisdom offers encouragement to those entrusted with caregiving by reminding them that what they are doing plants roots in the eternal—even in the hidden or lonely recesses of servitude, caregivers are seen, they matter, and they are upheld by the right hand of God!" — Carolyn Weber, caregiver, professor of literature, and author of Surprised by Oxford
Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love.
Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.
