Artificial Intelligence and robotics are becoming a part of our everyday lives

0:04.6

whether we realize it or not whether we like it or not. Our robots and

0:10.8

artificial intelligence ever going to gain consciousness like human beings and be able to think.

0:17.0

And perhaps most importantly, how should we think bibically about artificial intelligence and robotics.

My name is Sean McDowell,

I'm a professor at Biolu University

here with my co-host Scott Ray,
