A philosophy café session attended by approximately 30 people was held to discuss artificial intelligence. The discussion, led by professor Christian Loubère, focused on generative AI's potential to modify reality and alter human perception, the nature of intelligence, and ethical concerns about AI systems like ChatGPT surpassing human intelligence.
A new philosophy café association named 'Résonance' was established in Lourdes after the previous group separated from a diaconia facility due to suspected financial misconduct. The association's president is Serge Blanchong. The city provided meeting space at the former Saint-Bernard shelter to support the new group.
