SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Richard Koral: Can We Teach Ethics to Artificial Intelligence?
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nMore and more\, we are relying on Artificial Intelligence to do our research\, create our content and make consequential decisions.

Richard holds degrees from New York University and New York Law School\, and a Doctor of Ministry in interfaith pastoral counseling from the Hebrew Union College. He is the Leader Consultant to the Social Service Board and numerous committees in the Society. Active with the American Ethical Union\, Richard served on its Board as president from 2012 to 2015. He also serves as part-time Leader for the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island. \nCOVID-19 Notice: Vaccination required. Masks optional but encouraged. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nMonthly Collection: Growing Peace \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Ethics Unplugged: Rest as Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Stop by our final Unplugged of the season in-person and receive a special gift! \nIn-person and online! Join Society Leaders Nori Rost and Jé Hooper for Ethics Unplugged\, an exciting reimagining of Ethical Culture\, every Wednesday at 7:00pm. Come early for wine and snacks! \nWhile we’ve been talking about about sexuality and embodied pleasure over the past few weeks\, there are plenty of ways to experience embodied pleasure in a non-sexual way. On our closing Ethics Unplugged\, we’ll discuss our favorite non-sexual ways to experience embodied pleasure. Then we invite you to stick around and share a glass of wine and some treats as we close out the Ethics Unplugged series for now. \nJune’s Theme: Wild and Holy Embodiment\, Pt. II \nAs we head into our final month of our Ethics Unplugged experiment we will continue to focus on embodied pleasure. The conversations through May have been deeply personal\, theoretical\, and just down right juicy! We couldn’t cover all the topics we wanted to\, so we’re extending the theme. Living ethically is always an embodied experience\, but sometimes we Ethical Humanists tend to get stuck in our head and forget we even have a body! \nThis month we’ll explore embodied movement\, talk about sex in our elder years\, and explore how rest can be resistance. As always\, we will bring the hermeneutics of ethics to these conversations\, remembering there is an ethical practice in the most radical spaces to engage the most revolutionary acts of pleasure. \nThe first three weeks will be Zoom webinars only\, to accommodate our guest speakers\, but join us live and in person on June 22nd to celebrate the wrap-up of a great experiment! People who attend in person will be given a special gift to help you love and appreciate your beautiful\, strong\, tender\, capable bodies! \nWatch Online! Click to Join at Start | Zoom ID 864 8703 7420 \nFree and open to the public!\nCOVID-19 Notice: Masks are optional but strongly encouraged.

SUMMARY:Leader’s Lunchtime Roundtable: TikTok Around the Clock (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Bring your lunch and join Leader Dr. Nori Rost and members for an engaging round-table discussion on the issues of the day and recommended readings. \nMost people know TikTok as a social media platform where users make dances or endless cat videos go viral. But is there a darker underbelly to it? The FCC wants to ban this China’s based app over concerns about how US user data is used. The state of Montana has already banned it; that is being challenged in court. What are the limits of government control over foreign based apps? \nhttps://www.govexec.com/technology/2022/11/tiktok-should-be-banned-us-fcc-commissioner-says/379281/ \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/03/learning/should-the-united-states-ban-tiktok.html \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A6JQx-8GDQ \nFree and open to the public!\nCOVID-19 NOTICE: Masks are optional but strongly encouraged. \nClick to join at start time | Zoom ID 861 1417 5760 | Passcode 347145
