Central New York Humanist Association

Like it or not, AI is here. It’s looming over virtually every aspect of our lives. It can write, make music, produce videos, solve mathematical problems, code, and perform a host of other tasks that have always been the domain of human beings. In this new age of AI, what is the role of the human being?

Welcome to the first in our Humanist Conversations Series, where we’ll get together to learn about and discuss important topics from a Humanist perspective (or perspectives)—or we may find that some topics don’t have a uniquely Humanist perspective.
Our first topic will be AI and Humanism. It’s a big topic, one that provokes a lot of thought (and feelings!).

We’ll have a short presentation on the topic, and then discussion. If you feel like it, feel free to bring fall-themed baked goods or beverages.
We hope you’ll join us!

Starting last year, we adopted a half mile of the Onondaga Creekwalk trail, from Onondaga Lake to Bear Street, the same area we clean up in the spring for OCRRA’s county-wide Earth Day cleanup.
This is a great way to get outside, make new friends, make Syracuse more beautiful and inviting, support the community, and be active! Everyone is welcome, including kids.

If you have a CNYHA t-shirt, wear it! If you don’t, we’ll give you one!

We will meet in the Northwest corner of the Solar Street Parking Lot South of Destiny USA. If you put this address into Google, it should get you there: 400 Creekwalk, Syracuse, NY 13204.

Come prepared for the weather, including a water bottle, suncreen, bug repellent, hat, etc. We plan to be out there rain or shine, as long as there’s no electrical storm! We suggest to wearing closed-toe shoes, and clothes you don't mind getting dirty.

The Syracuse Trails folks will supply us with tools and latex gloves. If you have sturdy work gloves, we recommend you bring them.
Hope to see you out there!
