Pilate and Jesus have a little chat in John 18. "So you're a king?" Loaded question. "You say I'm a king," says Jesus, but then he explains that what he really came to do was testify to the truth. "What is truth?" retorts Pilate. What IS truth? Why does it matter? Is Pilate right, that even if big T Truth exists, that it's all but useless in a broken sinful world? And what are the consequences of not defending truth or simply not caring about it? Ai is a technology that is presenting some significant challenges to telling the truth. It gives humans, who already have lying in their DNA, some pretty fancy tools to use in distorting reality. But beyond the tool itself, there are economic and social systems that are willing to subjugate truth in service of profit or power. This message begins our look at how Ai interacts with truth from a Biblical perspective. In it, we remind ourselves of how important truth is to God and why it's essential that we resist anything, be it Ai or our own sinful heart, that twists it.
