107 - Ethical Considerations for a Future With A.I. (w/ Christian Futurist, Mal Fletcher)

July 16, 2024 • Seacoast Church

With the current explosion of artificial intelligence accessible to the common man, there are many questions yet to be answered. Excitement is in the air for some, but many find the possible implications for the future, unnerving.

Pastor Mal Fletcher, is referred to as a futurist. Through Christian lenses, he sheds light on what many fear, as a result of A.I.—to be an inevitable "job apocalypse." Is this a reasonable concern? Is it possible for A.I. robots to acquire consciousness? Will people be able to connect with entertainment and art manufactured by A.I.? As this new phenomenon becomes more and more advanced, is society headed toward utopia or dystopia? The questions are endless and although many are unanswerable, Mal has a depth of insight that sheds a lot of light on what is to come, for a future with A.I.

At the top of the episode, Jeff Leinberger, Tomelex Copeland, Roy Jacques, and Joey Svendsen reflect on A.I. in social media, the prospect of a woman president, and how Joey used A.I. to replicate real people's voices in order to fix glitched audio while producing a podcast.
