About the theme:

Our ever-changing technological context has often raised new questions for Christians about the nature of humanity, but these questions have accelerated in recent times. How do our virtual social networks reflect and reshape our embodied relationships? What parallels and distinctions can be drawn between human reasoning and Artificial Intelligence? Drawing on the reflections of philosopher Shannon Vallor and theologian Michael Sacasas, this webinar will grapple with a few of the new—and the enduring—insights about humanity that recent developments in AI have highlighted.
