"A Jewish Ethics of Creativity for a Technological Age” with Dr. Shira Billet

The age of Artificial Intelligence forces us to ask old questions with new urgency—questions about the power, limits, dangers, and opportunities of human creativity—that lie at the nexus of ethics, religion, and science. Dr. Shira Billet will explore the timely wisdom for our technological age that is found in classical Jewish philosophical reflection on the cosmos and the place of the human being in the divinely created world order, presenting a starting point for a Jewish ethics of creativity in the age of AI. Dr. Shira Billet is Assistant Professor of Jewish Thought and Ethics at JTS.
