Join Dean Suzanne Spreadbury for a thought-provoking conversation on the intersection of artificial intelligence, mindfulness, and ethics with [Chris Berlin](https://www.hds.harvard.edu/people/chris-berlin), a renowned instructor at Harvard Divinity School and Harvard Extension School.

As AI continues to reshape our world, questions about intelligence, consciousness, and ethical responsibility become ever more pressing. Drawing from Buddhist perspectives and the principles of mindfulness, Chris explores how we can cultivate awareness, empathy, and ethical agency in the age of AI.

This discussion offers a glimpse into his new course, [*Mindfulness, AI, and Ethics: Cultivating the Heart of the Algorithm*](https://courses.dce.harvard.edu/?details&srcdb=202502&crn=26905), one of 25 AI-focused courses at Harvard Extension School designed to help learners explore the future of technology and its impact on our lives.
