Daily, tech billionaires and leading scientific minds are preaching (and endeavoring to build!) a false technological messiah that will either save or destroy mankind: Artificial Intelligence (AI). Many believe that the creation of a supreme man-made intelligence is inevitable, and an eerily religious wave of hope and fear is spreading across our society and may even exert subtle influences on our own thinking within the Church.

These predictions hinge on unspoken assumptions about the nature of intelligence and the origin of life. In this seminar, we will test the conventional wisdom of AI against a biblical worldview, separating fact from speculative fantasy as we develop insight into how to explain today’s headlines and trends to our members.
