Sharon Gal-Or’s presentation will also feature numerous great historical artworks, using them to communicate the stories and ideas that are relevant to the ethical application of artificial intelligence today.  
From the author’s book description:
“Garden of Wisdom: Timeless Teachings in an AI Era” is a transformative exploration of the intersection between ancient wisdom and modern technology. This book offers a comprehensive framework for the ethical evolution of artificial intelligence, integrating timeless principles from biblical narratives, ecological systems, and quantum consciousness. “Garden of Wisdom” is not just a guide for AI professionals but a call to humanity to co-create a flourishing, sustainable world.
