AI and the Soul: The Way of Jesus in an Algorithm-Driven Culture
About this episode
Dr. Carol explores the impact of algorithms and AI on our souls and relationships, offering insights for spiritual growth in a digital age.
In this wrap-up episode to our AI and the Soul series, Dr. Carol explores how algorithms and artificial intelligence are shaping not just our habits but our souls, offering "relationship prescriptions" for navigating the growing influence of digital technology. She examines how the digital world subtly "disciples" us, training us to expect life to be easy, quick, constantly stimulating, and within our control, while real growth, spiritual formation, and the way of Jesus are often slow, difficult, and beyond our control. While emphasizing that AI itself is neither good nor bad, she warns that its influence is never neutral, raising concerns about diminished mental capacity, weakened emotional self-regulation, and the erosion of authentic intimacy with others and with God when technology becomes a substitute rather than a tool. This episode will challenge you to examine how technology is forming your values and behaviors, and encourages thoughtful boundaries that prioritize spiritual growth, authentic connection, and becoming more like Jesus in a digital age.
