The Book of Revelation, Theology, and Artificial Intelligence

Oxford University Professor John C. Lennox joins Carey and our series, Ministry in the Age of AI.

Ministry in the Age of AI: Episode Two

Oxford University Professor John C. Lennox talks about the interplay of theology, ethics, and artificial intelligence. He outlines how the Book of Revelation foreshadows the advances we're seeing in AI, why the fringe shouldn't own the discussion around the future, current and future threats to human agency and free will, and why Christians should embrace technology and advance the conversation we're having, not retreat from it.
