The Birth of Artificial Intelligence

According to Wikipedia, A.I. as a discipline was born from a workshop that started on June 18, 1956 in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA (the “Dartmouth Workshop”). The time is not reported, but I assume a starting time of 08:00, which is common for these events. The “birth” chart for A.I. is shown below and is very, VERY revealing…

We have Uranus (planet of technology) rising on the ASC, at the midpoint of the benefics Venus/Jupiter, in the critical 1st degree of Leo – a domineering position. The Sun, ruler of the ASC, is sextile Jupiter and almost exact trine Neptune, planet of idealism and imagination. Jupiter is conjunct Pluto in the second house of finance, a promise of great monetary benefits! There is a grand trine involving Moon, Venus and Mars, indicating benefits to the common people (Moon). In addition, the Part of Fortune is conjunct North Node!

What has happened recently is that Pluto is transiting opposition the natal Uranus/ASC, and Jupiter was squaring it, corresponding to the recent headlines about ChatGPT and the anxiety associated with it and other AI systems.

The natal chart suggests that AI will eventually dominate, but to the benefit of mankind and not its destruction.
