Anthropic asked theologians about AI morality. It led us to a deeper truth.
An experiential happening in Petach Tikvah
King Solomon wrote thousands of years ago: "Man has no preeminence over the beast, for all is vanity."
For centuries, we used that quote to ponder our relationship with nature. But today, the question is no longer about the beast. It's about the machine.
Recently, researchers at Anthropic sat down with theologians and philosophers to address a critical question: How do you teach a machine morality, and who decides what is right or wrong?
During these discussions, an even deeper dilemma emerged: They aren't entirely sure what they’ve built. Does AI have a form of consciousness?
Or maybe the question should be reversed: Are we simply biological robots ourselves? Driven by programmed habits, ego, and environmental conditioning - just running on wetware with a bit more emotion?
These exact questions inspired us to launch our "Terminal of Thoughts" (טרמינל המחשבות).
It's an interactive experience designed to guide you room by room through the fundamental questions about ourselves that we rarely make time to ask in daily life.
Our first journey asks: "What is Man’s Preeminence Over AI?"
There are no lectures. No pre-packaged conclusions. For 90 minutes, you step inside an environment built entirely around active inquiry and personal discovery.
It leaves you with one defining question:
If a machine can perform everything you do tomorrow, what remains that is truly,
uniquely yours?
Or another way to put it: What do you believe sets human consciousness apart from advanced algorithms?
Our goal is to bring in groups by the busload from all over the country. For HR managers and team leads constantly searching for the next meaningful experience for their employees - maybe we’ve finally had enough of the standard company retreats?
This is a powerful topic to workshop with any group of thoughtful, forward-thinking people.
