  We will explore the limitless potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and exponential technologies. From the concept of the Singularity proposed by futurist Ray Kurzweil to the exponential growth that humanity is on the brink of experiencing, we will uncover the revolutionary impact that AI will have on every aspect of our lives.

  Imagine a world where machines can think, learn and adapt like humans, and where technology seamlessly integrates into every aspect of our existence. In addition to exploring the technological advancements in AI, we will also delve into the ancient wisdom of the Indigenous culture of Australia’s Aborigines and their concept of Dreamtime.

• Science and Spirituality? Convergence or Divide?

  We are living in the Age of the Great Convergence. Silos are over. Everything is interrelated and interconnected. Nature has built her ecosystems on this premise for thousands, if not millions of years. Indigenous tribes have lived in an interrelated and intertwined ecosystem as passed down through yarning over generations. Humans had a desire to dissect and deep dive in order to understand concepts and give meaning. The Age of the Great Convergence has exploded the interconnectedness of health with environment and education, with agriculture and manufacturing, with law and socialisation.

  Will quantum physics and quantum metaphysics now converge to create a new apex?

  Will quantum science and the laws of energy finally prove that we are all simply vibrating atoms? If we are all vibrating energy, will it be proven that we all come from one source? Will the laws of physics and science prove that we are spiritually all interconnected? And if that is the case, what else might we be on the cusp of proving?
