AI—Give Us This Day Our Daily Data

For our second episode we tackled one of the most consequential technologies of the last decade AI and things got…weird. In this episode we will cover the Utah plan to let AI renew prescriptions, LDS authorities responses to AI, our changing sense of identity, equity with AI, and whether we ought to torture AI to help it serve humans better.About the hosts:Brad, a PhD bioethicist and medical school professor and Calli, a PhD candidate in bioethics and genetics data analyst, explore the world of bioethics through the lens of LDS theology and faith. As life-long active members of the LDS Church, and some of the few bioethicists that are part of the faith, they hope to bridge the unique teachings and doctrines of the LDS Church with some of the most controversial topics of our time. The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the presenters and do not represent the views of their employers or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  Music: Alan Hawkshaw    / alan hawkshaw - topic  Links:Utah AI-powered, autonomous prescription renewals partnership with Doctronic:https://commerce.utah.gov/2026/01/06/news-release-utah-and-doctronic-announce-groundbreaking-partnership-for-ai-prescription-medication-renewals/The Church developed “Principles for Church Use of Artificial Intelligence” highlighting transparency and the importance of spiritual connection.https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/artificial-intelligence?lang=engStanford study on AI therapists https://hai.stanford.edu/news/exploring-the-dangers-of-ai-in-mental-health-carePowerPoint on AI and Pain:AI Rx.pptx
