Welcome back to part 2 of the conversation!
AI is an undeniable part of our culture today. But how should Christians think about AI? Is it a tool to embrace, a threat to fear, or something in between?
In this episode, Eric and Justin explore how believers can engage with artificial intelligence thoughtfully, without either blindly accepting it or shutting it down out of fear. This episode discusses how parents can lead their kids well in engaging with AI, how educators and students can approach it well in their pursuits and how we as individuals can check ourselves in our own use.
Whether you're an AI skeptic, an enthusiastic early adopter, or just trying to figure out what ChatGPT even is, this episode will help you think biblically about one of the biggest cultural shifts of our time.
Topics covered: AI and faith | Christians and technology | artificial intelligence ethics | biblical worldview | technology and culture | ChatGPT | AI tools for ministry | parenting | education
