Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

    finally what i was waiting to hear...what will man be doing while machines work? Al Jobs for everything? Where will mans place be ? Will man turn into a slave for AI ? I see said AI is only as good as the data submitted. So that's a Pandora's box right there to me ..Who will decide the AI end game ? How would that stay under a control ? I fear what we know, is not all there is to know ? There are places for computers to help us i agree, but this goes way beyond the desk type computer.. They have made them human-like, so like humans they will be ? Human-like that can destroy extra it sees, useless, unneeded. AI may need humans but not all humans maybe? They WILL ALWAYS BE MACHINE, NO SOULS!! Will AI be compassionate, no love, anger, be humbled, or be confused..Nothing on EARTH is without flaw sooner or later..unless maybe AI they have the quick learning ability , and a fast share response between each machine. Proven facts has scared me enough not to believe that they won't go beyond learning more than they should. We sure aren't the only country building these. Nor are we the most advanced at it. Years ago when i watched a video showing them jumping, running, and lifting. The machines capabilities were beyond the strength of a man. Makes me wonder in the end who will be a slave to who? Its not just sci-fi anymore

    We adapt and learn (at varying speeds and competency) how to react to “the real”. Every day we face challenges, choices and decisions. Also, we must interact with people, places, animals, weather, hunger… so many external and natural needs. We are aware but awareness is not universal. That makes each person unique. Our soul.

    A computer chess game can improve to beat a man. What says AI won't? AI scares me to death because there seems to be no end to what they may be used for. I would never leave a child under care to one. I may be old school but I'll stay that way. I understand the good but i also see what might become to be very BAD😢.

    Real intelligence is motivated by the "subconscious" or intuitive mind and modelled through its interaction with the rational mind. Artificial intelligence flattens out this dynamic and becomes the accumulated reduction of the output of processes it cannot discern or appreciate .. let's say.
