Interview 85 – A Christian View of AI

This is a bonus edition of the podcast. It's the product of a summer visit from longtime friends who visited us for a couple of weeks this summer. I've been reading a bit about AI since our first FrontLine edition of the year that was devoted to the subject. Our friends mentioned that one of the professors at BJU had discussed the subject in a Sunday school session at Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Greenville a while back.I went back and watched the session with Dr. Bill Lovegrove. It was very helpful and I thought it would be a good idea if Dr. Lovegrove would agree to come on to the podcast to discuss the subject for your benefit. He agreed, ant that is what this session is all about.Dr. Lovegrove isn't "anti-AI" but he isn't a booster either. He is advocating a realistic approach that employ's biblical wisdom and caution. Along the way in our discussion we touch on ways that AI is revealing the weakness of our fallen human nature and our susceptibility to deception.I think you will find the discussion quite interesting.We thank you for tuning in and also encourage you to follow us on our blog, Proclaim & Defend, to subscribe to FrontLine and help support the ministry of the FBFI through your subscription to the podcast.We include below a link to Dr. Lovegrove's session at Mount Calvary in the show notes. If the topic interests you, I think you will find his discussion there to be helpful as well.Artificial Intelligence :: Mount Calvary Baptist ChurchYesterday’s Proclaim & Defend article prompted by this episode: You Can’t Hide Your Lyin’ AIs – Proclaim & Defend* See FrontLine January/February 2025: AI: Developing a Christian Perspective (with links to our podcast episodes on AI)* Also Interview 72: More on AI – Shumate and Hanson Discuss AI Ethics (additional bonus episode on AI) Get full access to the Proclaim & Defend Podcast at proclaimdefend.substack.com/subscribe
