008 | A Theology of Artificial Intelligence

Description

AI isn’t coming. It’s already here.

Artificial intelligence is already shaping how we work, learn, communicate, and even seek advice. So Christians need a better response than either embracing every new tool uncritically or panicking about the future.

In this episode, I begin developing a Christian theology of technology. We’ll look at how Scripture presents human creativity, how the fall distorts what we make, and why technology can multiply both good and evil.

The goal isn’t to become anti-technology. It’s to use powerful technology without being spiritually formed in its image.
