What Makes Humans Unique? Our Soul? Our Ability to Choose? (S3, E12)

from Judaism in the 21st Century · host Steven Labkoff, MD & Rabbi Daniel Cohen

This week on Judaism in the 21st Century, Rabbi Daniel Cohen and Dr. Steven Labkoff discuss AI, the soul, human purpose, and the moral questions emerging as artificial intelligence advances. Inspired by a recent talk from Mois Navon (Mobileye co-founder, rabbi, philosopher, and global speaker on ethics and AI), we ask:• What truly makes humans unique?• If technology can think, create, and solve problems—what is our role?• Does Judaism provide a framework for how we should approach AI?• The most essential question: not “Can we build it?” but “Should we?”This episode challenges us to reflect on personal purpose, responsibility, and the importance of bringing godliness into everything we do.
