Believers can have differing views on things like AI, but the discerning Christian will know that we must fully face these issues and not underestimate the harm that they can do.

There’s much to worry about in this uncertain world — the world really is on fire. But as I think and blog about these issues, I try to process them in a way that draws me closer to God and His goodness rather than toward despair and fear.

An aged-care home in Melbourne has provided residents with a companion robot in a bid to ease loneliness. Are we really replacing the wonder of grandchildren with the novelty of robots? That hardly sounds like progress to me.

Do you wonder how Christians should approach and use AI? If so, Tasmanian teacher, tech CEO, and AI consultant Paul Matthews has written one of the most accessible and practical AI books I’ve seen: "A Time to Lead: A Faithful Approach to AI in Christian Education".

Artificial intelligence (AI) is part of the bigger (and badder) world of transhumanism and the like. All this is making brave new world scenarios a present-day reality, not a potential future worry.

Christians need to be aware of what is happening in their world – both the good and the bad. Recent developments such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the new digital technologies is one such area.

God knows every star in every galaxy (in fact, He created them) as well as the tiniest, nearly invisible microbe that the world’s most powerful microscope can barely see. What’s more, this infinite, transcendent God cares about us deeply.

I had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT (Chat) recently; in fact, I got Chat to fess up that it was giving me false information and deliberately perpetrating a lie. But I need to provide some background first.

The effort to blast away the ability of the Internet to have a verified history fits neatly into the stakeholder model of information distribution that has clearly been prioritised on a global level.

Today is the darkest day for Freedom of Speech in Australian history. The Labor Party has introduced its revised misinformation legislation to Parliament.

Few things keep me awake at night like Artificial Intelligence. No, I’m not worried about Terminator-like robots taking over our world (at least not yet). But I am worried about the disruption AI will bring to every area of our lives – and very, very soon.

We’re all drawn to transcendence – to worshipping someone or something bigger than ourselves. For earlier generations, God (or nation) filled that primal human need. But now other things are filling it.

Artificial intelligence is opening up new avenues for fraud. If the Albanese Government thinks that a misinformation and disinformation bill will serve to counter the effects of the coming explosion of fake news, images, videos, essays and academic writings, it is delusional.

Google’s AI tool Gemini made headlines after its image generator depicted female popes and Indian Vikings. It only got worse from there.

Thanks to deepfake technology, we now need to be sceptical of images and videos we see online unless it’s from a verified source. Seeing is no longer believing in a deepfake world.

The Israeli philosopher, historian, transhumanist, homosexual and atheist Yuval Noah Harari is about as bad as it gets when it comes to his pronouncements about who we are, where we should be heading, and how we should get there.

Naomi Wolf had been such a key part of the woke, progressive left for so many years, but the Covid Wars made it clear that most of the left was NOT on her side anymore. Or rather, she was no longer on their side.

In a few years, Cyberdyne Systems will create a revolutionary defense system. It's called Skynet. A computer program that automatically controls the defense of the United States. The system goes online on August 4th… Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn [...]

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This is so strange, I thought to myself. A colleague had asked Microsoft’s new Bing chatbot to create a picture of people reading the Bible. Even by the standards of our post-Christian world, you would expect such a [...]

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly making decisions that impact our lives. From the social media algorithms that decide what you see on social media (and thus, shape what you’re likely to believe) to artificial intelligence systems aiding medical diagnoses, these technologies all have ‘built-in’ moral and [...]
