The Journey Towards Compassionate A.I.
It may take a few more decades, but ‘soon enough,’ A.I. will turn into super-A.I. This is an artificial intelligence which in all areas of what is now seen as ‘human intelligence’ approaches this, then surpasses it. After that, it will keep growing exponentially. In the meantime, at relatively short notice, humanity will encounter a challenging A.I. bi-bottleneck: 1) humans possibly misusing A.I. in a big way, and 2) A.I. spiraling into many directions of which any unfortunate one may be enough for disaster. Will we control A.I. or will A.I. dominate us? Let’s hope this is the wrong question. Because if it’s the right question, and given enough time, there is no shred of a doubt ...
The Nocebo Effect
The Nocebo Effect documents the transformation of normal problems into medical ones and brings out the risks of this inflationary practice. One notable risk is that people labeled as sick may find themselves living up to their label through the alchemy of the nocebo effect.
Your Mind As Cure
The huge role of non-conscious processing in daily life, health, work, and play has been proven increasingly over the last few decades. In Your Mind as Cure, Dr. Jean-Luc Mommaerts shows how, apart from the medicines we take, we can also make an important contribution to our healing process. Using scientifically based insights, we can do much more than our materialistically trained physicians or we usually suspect. A cure based on autosuggestion also goes deeper in many cases. Moreover, this way, we avoid the side effects and high costs of an excess of medicines and surgical procedures. Making effective use of one’s deeper mind is something everyone can learn. Dr. Mommaerts describes in an accessible way the role of psychological factors in being sick and how we can best listen to the symptoms in our own body. This book shows that autosuggestion can also be an effective means for those who are not sick: for example, to increase stress resistance in ourselves or to stop smoking. Our mind is a very powerful tool. Let’s put it to work for our well-being.
Pastoral Virtues for Artificial Intelligence
Pastoral Virtues for Artificial Intelligence (AI) acknowledges that human destiny is intimately tied to artificial intelligence. AI already outperforms a person on most tasks. Our ever-deepening relationship with an AI that is increasingly autonomous mirrors our relationship to what is perceived as Sacred or Divine. Like God, AI awakens hope and fear in people, while giving life to some and taking livelihood, especially in the form of jobs, from others. AI, built around values of convenience, productivity, speed, efficiency, and cost reduction, serve humanity poorly, especially in moments that demand care and wisdom. This book explores the pastoral virtues of hope, patience, play, wisdom, and compassion as foundational to personal flourishing, communal thriving, and building a robust AI. Biases of determinism, speed, objectivity, ignorance, and apathy within AI's algorithms are identified. These biases can be minimized through the incorporation of pastoral virtues as values guiding AI.

Exponential Ethics
What do you fear about the future? Is it robots? Is it our inability to keep up with emerging technologies? Within a few decades, we could see technological changes never before witnessed. Can we coexist with machines that will be smarter, faster, and wiser than humans?
