🎙️What AI Can't Give You: Part 1: Jeff Burningham on Faith, Identity, and the Human Problem

🎙️What AI Can't Give You: Jeff Burningham on Faith, Identity, and the Human Problem

.

What if the real crisis of artificial intelligence is not technological at all, but spiritual?

Description:

Artificial intelligence is accelerating faster than any technology in human history. But according to Jeff Burningham, the real threat is not that machines will outperform us. The real threat is that we will forget what it means to be human.

.

In this intimate and often surprising conversation, Jeff recounts the collapse of the life he built. The pressure of building companies, chasing success, running for Governor, and tying his identity to constant doing finally broke him apart. What followed was not a business pivot but a spiritual reckoning that reshaped how he sees himself, his faith, and his place in a world racing toward automation.

.

Together, Jeff Burningham and Dov Baron explore why the future belongs to people who cultivate wisdom, humility, and soul. AI will not destroy humanity. It will reveal the parts of ourselves we have avoided: our longing, our fear, our beliefs, and our inability to sit quietly in our own presence.

.
