Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to spark interest and concern around the globe. But how does generative AI and transhumanism challenge or reflect our understanding of personhood and the image of God? The meaning of the Incarnation? And the Trinity?
On October 1st in collaboration with the World Council of Churches we hosted an online webinar examining these and related questions. Our expert panel of Drs. Gayle Woloschak, Heinrich Bedford-Strohm, Aristarchos Gkrekas, Cory Labrecque, and Tracy Trothen examined what is unique about human beings, the importance of human vulnerability and limits, the gnostic vision of transferring consciousness to machines, and how to focus on using technology for the benefit of humanity rather than vice versa.
Manuel David Morales of the blog AI and Faith has also generously prepared a text summary of the webinar, which you can read here.
