Organizations Filed Purposes: TO ADVANCE A CULTURE OF PURPOSE, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATION IN A DIVERSE SET OF FIELDS. THIS MISSION IS ACHIEVED THROUGH EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND ANALYSIS OF LOCAL, REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL ISSUES.

THE CENTER FOR SCIENCE AND CULTURE PROMOTES RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND DISCUSSION RELATING TO THE SCIENTIFIC THEORY OF INTELLIGENT DESIGN. THE CENTER'S ACTIVITIES INCLUDE THE SPONSORSHIP OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND WRITING; THE PRODUCTION OF BOOKS, ARTICLES, REPORTS, AND CURRICULA; THE ORGANIZING OF SEMINARS AND CONFERENCES; AND THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF EDUCATIONAL WEBSITES, PODCASTS, AND VIDEOS.

THE AI PROGRAM (WALTER BRADLEY CENTER OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT DISCOVERY INSTITUTE) EXPLORES THE BENEFITS AS WELL AS THE CHALLENGES RAISED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN LIGHT OF THE ENDURING TRUTH OF HUMAN EXCEPTIONALISM. PEOPLE KNOW AT A FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL THAT THEY ARE NOT MACHINES. BUT FAULTY THINKING CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO ASSENT TO VIEWS THAT IN THEIR HEART OF HEARTS THEY KNOW TO BE UNTRUE. THE BRADLEY CENTER SEEKS TO HELP INDIVIDUALS - AND OUR SOCIETY AT LARGE - TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE NOT MACHINES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HELPING TO PUT MACHINES (ESPECIALLY COMPUTERS AND AI) IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE.

THE CENTER ON WEALTH, POVERTY, AND MORALITY CONNECTS THE PRACTICAL TRUTHS OF ECONOMICS WITH THE PERENNIAL TRUTHS OF ETHICS. THE PROGRAM - HOME TO LEADING SCHOLARS IN PHILOSOPHY AND ECONOMICS - IS BUILDING SUSTAINED AND ACCESSIBLE DEFENSE OF FREE ENTERPRISE, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND STEWARDSHIP IN THE MORAL CATEGORIES CONSONANT WITH MOST AMERICANS.
