C.R. Wiley: Saint Antony's Guide to Surviving the AI Apocalypse, Part Two


Listen Later

In his second conference talk, Chris Wiley continues his exploration of techno-utopianism, referencing Donald Fagan’s "IGY" to highlight the seductive optimism of a tech-driven future. He opens with Romans 1:22, warning against the folly of claiming wisdom while embracing foolishness, and reflects on his intellectual formation at Harvard Divinity School, where he foresaw the rise of woke ideology and now anticipates the dominance of Silicon Valley’s techno-utopian vision. Wiley critiques the pervasive influence of artificial intelligence (AI), which he sees as a general-purpose technology reshaping vocations, dominion, and human identity, potentially leading to idolatry and societal fragmentation. He proposes two imaginative scenarios—“Neo-Amish World with an AI Twist” and “Butlerian Jihad Light”—to explore how families and communities might preserve humanity by setting limits on AI, emphasizing discipline and Christian principles. While acknowledging AI’s potential for breakthroughs in healthcare, materials science, and space exploration, Wiley warns of its risks, such as fostering dependency and eroding critical thinking, urging Christians to maintain human dignity as bearers of God’s image.
