AI And Human Dignity | Special Interview with a Tech Savvy Pastor: Miles DeBenedictus | Part 2 of 2

from Real Life Ministry · host Ryan Rice

We talk through the real ethical questions behind artificial intelligence and transhumanism, and why the fight is ultimately about what a human person is. We leave with a sober but hopeful Christian worldview that uses technology for human flourishing without treating machines like people. • Miles’s doctoral focus on AI ethics and apologetics • A conflict of anthropologies shaping AI development • Transhumanism and the promise of digital immortality • Why AI can mimic consciousness without being conscious • The risks of treating chatbots and avatars like persons • Helpful uses of AI for learning and theological debate • Human dignity grounded in the image of God • Neural implants, genetic enhancement, and where wisdom says no • Parenting and practical guardrails for tech use • AI in warfare, drones, and the danger of removing humans from the loop • Hope over fear and an optimistic future in Christ Check Out My Stuff On Substack.
