This episode wraps up season two of the PostEverything podcast. John Houmes and Brad Edwards reflect on what they have learned over the season about artificial intelligence. Brad talks about the importance of thinking critically about AI and viewing technology as having a formative influence on people, rather than just seeing it as a neutral tool. They discuss different postures people can take toward technology, such as determinism, which sees technology as determining outcomes, and pragmatism, which views technology as something people can control and shape to their ends. Going forward in season three, Houmes and Edwards plan to explore the topic of "formation" - how people are shaped and develop maturity - looking at areas like institutions, gender roles, faith, politics, and more. The goal is to bounce around different topics relating to how formation happens in various areas of life.
