About this episode

The episode explores the impact of artificial intelligence on human identity and morality through a discussion between a theologian and an AI expert.

Artificial intelligence is changing far more than the way we work. Is it quietly changing what it means to be human? As AI becomes our therapist, our teacher, our creative partner, even our romantic companion, are we handing over something uniquely human? Professor Nigel Crook, one of the UK's leading AI researchers, and theologian Brian Brock go head-to-head over the biggest questions surrounding artificial intelligence. In this conversation: Could AI ever become conscious? Are AI girlfriends replacing real relationships? Is Silicon Valley creating a new religion? Why are Christians uniquely equipped to resist the attention economy? Will AI make us wiser... or slowly erode what makes us human?
