May 22, 2024
Nick Spencer and Hannah Waite challenge the notion of humans 'playing God' in their book. They discuss the responsibilities of advancing technology and the ethical, humanistic, and spiritual aspects of the questions it raises. The podcast delves into the impact of AI, human modification, immortality, digital consciousness, and theological implications of alien life on Christian beliefs. It explores themes of personhood, creativity, and relationality in a thought-provoking conversation about the future of humanity.
