There is much debate surrounding artificial intelligence, AI, and many are cautious about its so-called benefits. But our guest today, Dr. Mark Vernon, brings a more hopeful message: AI is an opportunity for humans to re-learn what it means to be human, to create as humans, and to have intelligence as humans. We talk about a recent video he posted about AI (see below), and unpack what this means for all of us, including those fields that might feel threatened by AI, such as marketers, educators, artists, writers, and so forth. Toward the end, Mike Stanczak and I make specific applications to people of faith.
Dr. Vernon @PlatosPodcasts is a psychotherapist with a private practice in London, and he is the author of many books. He writes on friendship, philosophy, spiritual intelligence, Owen Barfield (the friend of C.S. Lewis), Dante, and living in the modern world. His works have been published by the BBC, Aeon, Church Times, and The Idler. He has a degree in physics, two in theology, and a PhD in Philosophy. He has also been a priest in the Church of England.
