Faith, AI & the Digital Age w/ Theresa Payton

In this timely Lenten episode, host Christina Sabo welcomes back Theresa Payton — CEO and founder of Fortalice Solutions, cybersecurity expert, and the first female White House Chief Information Officer under President George W. Bush. The two have a wide-ranging conversation on navigating faith, technology, and truth in today's digital world. The conversation covers how Catholics can respond faithfully to the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case amid a flood of AI-generated misinformation, how AI scams are specifically targeting the faithful and what to do about it, and how the three Lenten pillars of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving can shape the way we engage with technology and media.Chapters00:00 — Welcome & Opening Prayer01:20 — Theresa's Background: White House, Cybersecurity & Faith06:34 — The Nancy Guthrie Case: A Faith-Filled Response10:21 — AI, Misinformation & the Media Landscape13:33 — Digital Detectives: Ethical Boundaries for Online Engagement15:51 — AI Scams Targeting the Faithful22:18 — Human Dignity and AI Ethics24:20 — AI Regulation: A Call to Civic Action28:34 — How the Church Can Stay Spiritually Anchored in a Tech World32:39 — Lenten Pillars41:00 — ConclusionResources MentionedFortalice SolutionsIdentity Theft Resource CenterFBI Tip LineTheresa's previous apperance on A Resounding Yes!_____________________Produced by Saint Kolbe StudiosSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow Paloma & Fig on Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn.
