Technology is Good - We Are Not.

Technology is Good - We Are Not - Stephen Driscoll

The technology of Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing. AI is making a deep impact on how we function in modern societies. While Al is growing in its ability to think, from the start it has fundamentally been an excellent mimic.

Artificial intelligence has often reflected back to us a summary of who we are as humankind. As Stephen Driscoll says: “It’s a multibillion-dollar computational human mirror”.

This makes AI not really good or bad - but simply a reflection of the goodness or badness of the humans who created it.

Untrained AI seems to be quite debauched.

Trained AI is a people pleaser - less interested in truth and trained to keep you coming back for more. In fact, I heard recently an AI bot replying to a Christian user that it would be “praying for them”!

So what is a Christian response?

That is to understand the limitations of building something in our image and instead, rediscover ourselves as made in God’s image.
