JUST LIFE - Artificial Intelligence – Blessing or Curse?

The programme, presented by English Catholic News’s Paul Danon, looks at the origins of this technology, its present applications and its likely future use.  Bishop Hendricks, (auxiliary in Southwark and the bishops’ conference’s spokesman on artificial intelligence) joins other guest-experts to examine whether AI will cause mass-unemployment, devalue human beings and/or bring about wars. They also look at the opportunities for progress in science, medicine, education and the general enhancement of life on earth (including the conservation of resources), as well as at the church's teaching to date on this technology. The chapter-names for this podcast were generated by Spotify's AI, and it has got some spellings wrong! Our speakers are Bishop Paul Hendricks, Auxiliary in Westminster, Dr Stephen Dolan of St Mary's University, and Fr Gareth Leyshon of Cardiff-Menevia Archdiocese.If you enjoyed this programme, please consider supporting us with a one-off or monthly donation.
