What we lose when we outsource our humanity to AI
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
AI is tempting us to outsource our thinking, our labor, and even our relationships. As technology makes life "easier," are we losing what it means to be human?
In this episode of Catholic Futurist, host Benjamin Crockett sits down with Alessandro Di Santo (Co-Founder of Hallow), Brett Robinson (Associate Professor of the Practice, University of Notre Dame), and Matthew Harvey Sanders (CEO of Longbeard) to discuss the profound challenges of emerging tech.
They explore how AI is creating a crisis of meaning, the dangers of transhumanism, and why humanity's search for purpose could lead to an "existential cliff." Discover the Church's crucial role in providing hope and a vision for human flourishing in the age of machines.
