What will the future of “work” look like? What part does work play in our psychological well being? What constitutes meaningful work? These are some of the questions the Camden Philosophical Society will address on Oct. 15, at the third session in a series of discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The group discussed generative AI in August and September, focusing on the technology itself, the ethics and the philosophical quandaries this new technology raises.

The October session will highlight the impacts on work. Each of the articles for this session puts forward a different view on this topic and, together, they encourage us to take a step back from the “technology” itself and instead explore our own concepts of work and its meaning in a rapidly changing technological society.

The Society’s meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15, will, as usual, be a hybrid gathering from 3:30-5:30 p.m. EDT on the third Tuesday of the month. All are welcome to participate, in-person at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library or by Zoom. That goes for visitors, as well as year-rounders in Maine, and friends of the society wherever you may be.

If you wish to participate via Zoom, please email sarahmiller@usa.net. You will receive a Zoom invitation on the morning of the meeting. Visit librarycamden.org for the readings.
