LAKEWOOD, Colo. — An expert panel that gathered last week to discuss the ethical implications of AI technology urged Christians to prepare for seismic changes while harnessing the capacities of the new technology for good.
Speaking last week to an audience of mostly college students at Colorado Christian University during "
AI for Humanity: Navigating Ethics and Morality for a Flourishing Future," which was hosted by The Christian Post and tech company Gloo, panelists urged Christians to be mindful of AI while not shying away from its potential.
'Wake up and prepare'
James Poulter, an author who serves as head of AI and innovation at the London-based advertising agency House 337, likened AI's arrival to an impending alien invasion. He said he believes most people "drastically underestimate the speed of change that we are not only already experiencing, but are about to experience."
"If you listen to the creators of this technology in Silicon Valley at the moment, that's essentially what they're telling us: that there is an alien intelligence ... and it's coming, and it's going to be infinitely available, scalable — and at some point, if Elon [Musk] gets the technology nailed down correctly, it's going to be embodied, as well," he said.
"It'll have a physical manifestation, and it will be around you. And so, if that is the case, then we have to wake up and prepare for this in a way that I don't think we are."
