Jason Thacker was thinking, writing, and speaking about AI before it was cool - and long before the most recent “hype cycle.” His first book, The Age of AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity, tackled the theological, ethical, and anthropological dimensions of technology in general, and AI specifically. And as you will no doubt be able to tell from our conversation, he’s more than an expert or an ethicist - he is a teacher and a disciple who’s love for and hope in Jesus is only more magnified by the technological challenges of our liminal age.

Jason is the assistant professor of philosophy and ethics at Boyce College and a research fellow in Christian ethics at The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. His work has been featured at Christianity Today, World Magazine, The Week, Slate, USA Today, Politico, The Gospel Coalition, and Desiring God. He is the author of several books, including Following Jesus in a Digital Age and The Digital Public Square.
