About this episode
The episode explores the implications of emerging technologies and AI on the Christian faith, questioning whether they are beneficial tools or potential threats.
TRIGGER WARNING: Please be aware the message briefly alludes to self-harm and suicide. In April, 58 years ago, 2001: A Space Odyssey premiered, with HAL9000, a computer programme with a human-like personality, willing to kill to achieve mission objectives. Today, we delve into whether we should fear or favour emerging technologies and AI. Is it just a tool that can be used for good or evil, or is it a wolf in sheep's clothing? A message by David T
