You're listening to Breakpoint this week, where we talk about the top stories of the week from a Christian perspective.

Well, this week, while John and I are at the Colson Center National Conference, we have a special episode to share with you.

It's an interview between John and another John, bioethicist and theologian John Lennox, about the implications of artificial intelligence.

Please stick around.

Well, welcome to a special edition of our Breakpoint podcast. I am very thrilled to have a conversation

here. I would call him a national treasure because he is in the United States, but he's really a Brit. So he's an international treasure. I think having helped so many people think so

clearly about a number of topics, especially related to science and faith. John Lennox is a mathematician,

bioethicist, a lay theologian.

He's written many books on religion, ethics, and the relationship between science and God.

He's known for some very popular public debates with none other than Richard Dawkins and others.

But his book, God, AI, and The End of History, talk about a loaded title right

there, is where we're going today is on the topic of AI. Dr. Lennox, it's an honor to have you on

the podcast. It's a great pleasure for me to be back with you. It has been a while, and we're grateful anytime we can find some time.

And I'm really grateful for this book.

I want to begin just by asking an open-ended question, because at some level, AI is in all

of our faces, whether we like it or not.

And it feels like it came quickly. I know it didn't

come as quickly maybe as we think it did. But it comes with promises and it comes with promises

of peril. It comes with, you know, dire warnings of the end of the world. And it comes with promises

of, you know, bringing about, you know, I think as Elon Musk put it,

no longer needing to work or make money.

So give us the landscape of AI.
