S4E2—Doctors, Truckers & War: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence with Jason Thacker

Listen Later

Will artificial intelligence start delivering all your Amazon orders? If 9 million drivers lose their jobs, what should we do about it?

Artificial Intelligence has already found its way into our homes, says Jason Thacker. We interview him about his new book, The Age of AI: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity (Zondervan 2020).

We talk about:

  • Why Christians need to be thinking about AI
  • How AI is different from the way movies portray them
  • What we think do about autonomous weapons
  • Whether robots will take our jobs


    • We wrap up with 3 questions Christians can be asking in the age of AI. Then stick around to hear Jason’s take on Vice or Virtue!

    Jason is Associate Research Fellow and Creative Director at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.
