📜 Episode Description:
In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with the anonymous Substack writer Elder of Ziyon to explore his bold new creation: Ask Hillel, an AI built to think like a Jewish ethicist. How might Jewish ethics reshape secular moral discourse—and could AI help? Join us as Elder of Ziyon explains the design of Ask Hillel, an AI framework that distills halakha methodology into a tiered value system. We explore pikuach nefesh, din v’rachamim, and more, examining what happens when millennia of Jewish thought meet cutting-edge technology.
From defining Jewish values outside halakha to challenging the limits of secular moral philosophy, we dive into what it means to encode thousands of years of Jewish ethical tradition into a machine—and why that might be exactly what our confused moral discourse needs. You’ve never heard AI—or Jewish ethics—discussed like this.
