1 - Demystifying AI

AI and the Christian Life

In this sermon, Gordon Broadbent demystifies the history, technology, and inner workings of artificial intelligence, comparing its cultural disruption to the electrical revolution of the early 20th century. He encourages believers to exercise critical thinking when using these probabilistic systems while maintaining an eternal perspective, resting in the absolute sovereignty of God who remains on His throne.

2 - AI and Personhood

AI and the Christian Life

Doug Axe discusses the distinction between human personhood and artificial intelligence, arguing that humans are uniquely created in the image of God with an immaterial soul and mind, whereas AI is merely a machine executing probabilistic algorithms. He warns against the real danger of "personhood atrophy," where humans abdicate their relational and spiritual duties to unthinking technology.
