Artificial Intelligence (Season 3, Episode 3)

Season 3, Episode 3: Artificial Intelligence This episode is on so-called artificial intelligence, a topic which is all the rage and an argument which will likely enrage. For those of us, including myself, who have spent their adulthood dismissing the Luddites who railed against the automation of the textile industry, it remains a journey of the intellect and will to consider more deeply the foundation of their anger and the defense of their humanity. In short, I hope that this episode haunts in you in the way that St. Augustine was haunted by the wisdom of St. Ambrose and the Life of St. Anthony.
