Systems Thinking Ontario | Mon Jul 13 | Hybrid | What Can Systems Thinkers Learn from "Magnifica Humanitas"

[zaidkh...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

For this month we're going to continue the "What Can Systems Thinkers Learn from ..." series. (sidenote: we'll resume synthesis maps presentation in August)

The discussion will focus on the Pope Leo XIV encyclical titled Magnifca Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in a Time of Artificial Intelligence.

I think it'll be particularly interested to discuss both the content but also the author, the institution, differing worldviews, etc.

We'll be joined by Giancarlo Brotto, a global keynote speaker and strategist focusing on AI and the future of work. https://paveedu.org/

If there's a second discussant you thin would be a good fit who can bring an interesting additional angle (religious pov x tech x flourishing) to the discussion, let me know.
