| 0:00.0 | Hey, friends, welcome to the Natasha Crane podcast. |
| 0:10.0 | If you're like me, you have started to use AI, artificial intelligence, a lot more in the last few months. |
| 0:16.9 | It seems to be everywhere that we go. |
| 0:19.0 | Chat GPT is one of the most popular tools, and that's |
| 0:22.3 | kind of my go-to now. In fact, I'm using it a lot as a replacement for search engines. So if I have a |
| 0:27.8 | health question or a question about a college, I'm researching for my kids or anything else, |
| 0:32.0 | I'll go to chat GPT and I'll put it in there first before I even go to Google. But there's something |
| 0:37.4 | that I have noticed a lot more |
| 0:39.0 | in the last few months, and that is that AI is not just like a search engine. It's something that |
| 0:44.9 | actually shapes how we think. There are a lot of worldview implications for our AI. Our AI, our |
| 0:52.8 | chatyptis and all the other tools that are out there are built on some very secular assumptions about the nature of reality. |
| 1:00.0 | And yet we don't think about that a lot of times. A lot of times we're just thinking of it, like I said, like a search engine, and we're not thinking about the broader implications. |
| 1:07.4 | And so that's what I want to talk about with my guest today, Brandon Maddoch. He is one of the |
| 1:12.4 | co-founders of a new Christian AI platform. Yes, Christian AI. It's a platform that's designed to be a |
| 1:19.1 | competitor to something like a chat GPT, but built from the ground up using Christian worldview |
| 1:25.2 | assumptions. In fact, they say that they want to bring AI under the |
| 1:28.6 | lordship of Christ. So what exactly does that mean? What does it mean to have a Christian |
| 1:33.8 | AI? Is it even necessary? I know I learned so much from doing this interview, and I hope that you |
| 1:39.3 | will too. Before we jump in, I just want to remind you, if you're listening to this on a podcast |
| 1:43.8 | player, be sure that you subscribe so that you get notified of any new episodes. And if you're watching this on YouTube, then subscribe there as well. And if you're listening on the podcast player and didn't know that this is now on YouTube, head over to YouTube and subscribe there. And you can watch the podcast instead of just listening to it. With that, here's my interview with |
| 2:01.0 | Brandon Maddick. Well, I've been really fascinated by the whole concept of Christian AI since I got |
| 2:06.5 | introduced to it and I was given an account by Dominion so that I can play with it and tell my |
