God, Human, Machine: Reading Genesis in the Age of AI
As artificial intelligence challenges our assumptions about the meaning of speech, intelligence, and creativity, the creation story in Genesis comes into new focus. Read from the vantage point of the age of AI, it offers a timeless account of what it means to wield these capacities in a human way rather than as an algorithm. This lecture explores consciousness, perception, and how the mind creates the boundaries of our world through a fresh reading of the biblical creation story.
