Chatting with Ana Vovk in the rhythm of nature: New biodynamics - why do we need it?
2024-12-03 19:30 - 20:00 UTC | online
In addition to organic farming, we also know biodynamic farming which differs from the organic in that it involves cosmic forces. Dr. Rudolf Steiner was the founder of biodynamics, whose work was continued by Marija Thun. Today, as the land/soil is dying much faster than ever before, we need a new biodynamic which includes only plant preparations instead of animal components and is suitable for a wider range of users.

Round Table Discussion: Intelligence Without Borders: Artificial Intelligence, Humanity, and the Future
2025-01-15 | Koper, Univerza na Primorskem, Fakulteta za humanistične študije, Titov trg 5, Koper, 6000, Slovenija
The rapid development of artificial intelligence, especially chatbots, raises critical questions across various fields that require thorough consideration. Artificial intelligence’s advancement transcends individual domains’ limitations and raises questions about education, the economy, creativity, and more. Therefore, we are organising a public event to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on society and the future. The focus will be on fundamental questions, ethical aspects, and the social and political consequences of introducing artificial intelligence. The primary target audience for the event are students at the University of Primorska, students from coastal high schools, and other young individuals who will strongly feel the changes brought about by artificial intelligence.
1. Fundamental questions: What is artificial intelligence, and how does it differ from human intelligence? How does technological progress affect human intelligence?
2. Ethics and the future: How can we ethically contemplate the development of artificial intelligence? What futures can we envision with rapid technological advancement?
3. Social consequences: What will be the social and political consequences of introducing artificial intelligence? How will this affect the European Union’s work, economy, politics, and regulation?
[The event will take place in 2025. The exact date will be announced later.]
