The Pope, AI, and the Future of Humanity

Every new technology brings opportunity, questions, and a little uncertainty. In this episode of Faith Matters, Rabbi Sanford Akselrad and Reverend Adrian Doll explore the Pope's recent encyclical on artificial intelligence and why faith communities are paying attention to the rapidly changing world of AI. Along the way, they explain what an encyclical actually is, discuss where AI can be a force for good, and examine the concerns that come with giving technology an increasingly larger role in everyday life. From ethics and human dignity to creativity and connection, this thoughtful conversation looks at how faith can help guide us through one of the most significant technological shifts of our time.
