Disciple Dojo

When it comes to new technology, there is always as much trepidation as there is excitement…particularly when the technology is potentially world-changing. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is just such a technology! From Chat GPT to Midjourney to deepfake videos…there are as many opinions and predictions as there are people, it seems! So I wanted to bring in someone who has decades of experience in the world of tech security and who is also familiar with current A.I. technology AND who is also as big of a Bible nerd as me! There’s only one person I know who fits all of those criteria…my BibleHacking friend, Gregory Richardson! 

We had a fantastic discussion and I hope it helps all of us better discern (rather than merely react to!) what all is happening in this technological revolution in which we are currently living!
