The Earth Citizens Organization (ECO) and the International Brain Education Association (IBREA) joined forces to host the “2017 Earth Citizen Peace Festival.” This event emerged as a response to the increasing threats to our planet’s ecosystem due to rapid materialistic progression and the deep questions about human value raised by the looming era of artificial intelligence. The festival underscored the significance of ‘Earth’ as a shared home for humanity and advocated for the revival of ‘natural intelligence’ over artificial intelligence.
On the festival’s second day, IBREA, intent on offering academic support to the burgeoning global Earth Citizen Movement, welcomed esteemed scholars from around the world. They organized an international symposium entitled “The Brain, Earth Citizenship, and Our Global Future” to foster academic discussion on the subject.
