Abstract

Artificial intelligence could be “billions of times smarter” than humans in near future, the
experts are predicting. Many popular movies are suggesting that at some point robots may
also develop a soul. The speaker believes that humans will never have such mastery of
soul, as this will create a serious challenge to the religious understanding of accountability
and Afterlife.
Almost a billion, according to a BBC report, are suffering from anxiety and depression. There
is an epidemic of drug abuse in US and other countries. The speaker believes that
understanding of human psychology is not only absolutely necessary for our worldly survival
but also our salvation in the Hereafter.
