The Deep Dish

AI: Friend or Foe? (with Michael Graham)


Listen Later

Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor talk with Michael Graham about what Christians should know about Artificial Intelligence. They discuss the benefits it could bring to society and how they personally use it. They consider theological categories and questions for how to evaluate what uses are helpful and which are dangerous. Finally, Graham explains the Christian Benchmark project and how it exposes the inherent biases in AI platforms.
