Dawn Hewitt Office assistant First Unitarian Universalist Society of Marietta, Ohio From: Moeller, Kim Sent: Thursday, September 8, 2022 1:05 PM Subject: Ethics, Spirituality, and Technology and the Impact on Longevity Longevity is increasing due to technological innovations, big data and artificial intelligence. The Human Mortality Database reports 50% of babies born in 2007 have a life expectancy of 103 years. What are our assumptions about aging, longevity, and appropriate medical care? How do we expect technology to contribute? Can we go too far when it comes to longevity? While the impact of Intelligent Assistive Technology (IAT), is growing, the ethics of IAT often neglect spirituality. This disregard can result in IAT that either fails to address core spiritual needs or presents potential harm to those needs. How might tech affect spirituality? How might the valuing of spirituality affect tech? These and other questions will be discussed at the 2022 Abundant Aging Symposium sponsored by the Parker Center for Abundant Aging: (Pro) Longevity: The Convergence of Tech, Ethics, & Spirituality Friday, Sept. 30 9:30am ? 3:15pm Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center 100 Green Meadows Dr. South, Lewis Center, Ohio (near Columbus) In Person or Online Zoom Registrations Available If you are not interested in this topic but know of someone else within your community who may be, we would be appreciative if you would forward this email to them.
