Andrew Keen: There's a steep hunger that we all humans have for purpose. The promise of Christian humanism is to offer a narrative of purpose, he writes. He says there are other narratives out there that you see as the threats in addition to the story of artificial intelligence. Keen sees AI as one sort of threat to the stories of an intrinsic purpose and its sacred by reserving it for the human.

Curtis tackles this epoch defining question with Comment Editor in Chief, Anne Snyder Brooks. Together they explore the distinctive vision Christians have to offer a world beset by dehumanizing forces. This wide ranging exploration includes both the big ideas and stakes involved in this question, as well as practical steps each one of us can take to embody (in the words of Irenaeus) “the glory of God in a human being fully alive.”
