Charles Bivens ThM

Theologically trained educational consultant specializing in AI ethics, bringing a unique perspective to the critical questions of our technological age. With an Advanced Master's in Theology from the University of Wales Bangor (Royal Charter Institution) and academic experience teaching philosophy, theology, and humanities at university and dual-credit levels, I offer distinctive expertise in values-based AI governance.

My work addresses the fundamental question driving our technological moment: as AI systems become increasingly capable, what does it mean to be human? Through academic training in systematic moral reasoning, graduate research methodologies, and emerging AI ethics frameworks, I help navigate the ethical complexities of artificial intelligence while preserving human dignity and purpose.

NEXT MIND

“If this isn’t it, we’ve got nothing. If the Humanity Engine, a modified version, or something similar, is not implemented now, we lack a technological framework that will enable us to advance based on a narrative large enough to encompass the rapid advances of technology. There has only been one Narrative big enough to contain this. What is man? Humanity? The Humanity Engine takes us back to the first flickerings of human consciousness and points the way forward. Our first ancestors wrote about our dignity and centrality.” ~ Charles Bivens
