Webinar #45 Prof John Lennox - Artificial intelligence and the future of humanity

Recorded on 18 February 2021 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Prof John Lennox. What will the year 2084 hold for you - for healthcare, your friends, and for our society? Are we doomed to the grim dystopia imagined in George Orwell’s 1984? In discussion with Dr Peter Saunders, scientist and philosopher John Lennox will introduce you to a kaleidoscope of ideas: the key developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and, in particular, artificial intelligence. The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. Hear how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence–based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity. John Lennox is a Professor of Mathematics (Emeritus) at Oxford University and Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at Green Templeton College, Oxford. He is also an Associate Fellow of the Said Business School, Oxford University, and teaches for the Oxford Strategic Leadership Programme. Professor Lennox is particularly interested in the interface of science, philosophy, and theology. His books include Against the Flow (on Daniel), Seven Days that Divide the World (on Genesis 1), Gunning for God (on the new atheism), Stephen Hawking and God (a response to The Grand Design), God’s Undertaker: Has Science Buried God, and 2084. He has debated a number of prominent atheists, including Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Peter Singer.
