This series is sponsored by American Security Foundation.In this episode of the
18Forty Podcast—recorded at the 18Forty X ASFoundation AI Summit—we speak with Moshe Koppel, Malka Simkovich, and Tikvah Wiener about what the AI revolution will mean for the Jewish community.
In this episode we discuss:
- How is AI going to change the dynamics, cadence, and rhythm of Jewish life?
- Should we panic about AI replacing the role of creative human work?
