ISSR has recently completed a large grant generously funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation titled, Understanding Spiritual Intelligence (SI for short). This video is part of a four-part series, recorded on Zoom between 28 June and 10 July 2023. This series arises from the conclusion of the SI grant and the research done for it, from which a few of the keynote presentations will be posted to our channels in the coming months. In the wake of the 2023 ISSR summer conference on Artificial and Spiritual Intelligence, the speakers in this series were critical in bringing together the research and deliverables for this project.

This final part, presented live on Zoom on 10 July 2023, titled, Paying Attention to Spiritual Meanings: Modelling Spiritual Practices using Interacting Cognitive Subsystems, begins with an introduction from ISSR Executive Secretary Fraser Watts.

The developer of the cognitive architecture used for the grant project, Philip Barnard, then provides an in-depth presentation of his architectural design and insights into the process, among many other interesting details.

This is then followed by responses by both John Teasdale and Fraser Watts, after which an open discussion with the audience takes place.
