This Virtual Enlightenment Salon represents a continuation of the USTP’s discussions with transhumanists of various religious persuasions in order to identify and build upon areas of common ground between transhumanism and certain interpretations of religious and spiritual worldviews. 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.
