Artificial intelligence is becoming smarter every day. But can AI truly understand compassion, empathy, wisdom—or even consciousness? Can emotions be programmed? Is human nature simply a set of algorithms? And what makes us uniquely human? Join us for an afternoon exploring these timeless questions through both Eastern wisdom and Western philosophy. We'll begin with a Tai Chi Mindfulness Ball practice—a simple, mindful movement that helps improve focus, body awareness, and inner calm. Then we'll enjoy an open English discussion based on this week's reading, exploring questions such as: 🤖 Can AI ever truly understand human emotions or consciousness? 💛 Are self-interest and compassion opposites—or can they coexist? 🧠 What do Buddhism and Western philosophy each say about human nature? 🌱 If human nature has many possibilities, what kind of person do we choose to become? It's a welcoming conversation where people from different backgrounds exchange ideas, reflect on life, and explore timeless wisdom together. ✨ Experience the Tai Chi Mindfulness Ball 💬 Interactive English discussion 🌍 Open to all backgrounds 🎟️ Free admission (registration required) 📅 Date: July 26 Sunday ⏰ Time: 15:00-17:00 📍 Unit 903, 9/F, Hanley House, 776-778 Nathan Road, Prince Edward, Kowloon Slow down, move mindfully, and explore what it truly means to be human in the age of AI.
