The Ethics of AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Welcome back to "2 Pentecostals and a Microphone," where faith meets technology in part 2 of a thought-provoking exploration of the AI Revolution. In this gripping follow-up episode, we dive even deeper into the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and spirituality. Get ready to embark on a journey that takes you from the realms of theological contemplation to the mysteries of Revelation as we discuss "The AI Revolution: Part 2." In our previous conversation, we scratched the surface of how AI is reshaping our world and society. In this episode, we venture into the realm of spirituality, examining how AI is influencing and challenging religious perspectives. Join us as we delve into:

1. Rewriting the Sacred: Can AI really comprehend the essence of faith? We discuss the controversial subject of using AI to rewrite religious texts such as the Bible. How do we grapple with the ethical implications of such an endeavor? What does this mean for the authenticity and authority of sacred texts?

2. AI and Christian Ethics: As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, how do we align this technological progress with our moral compass? We explore the evolving landscape of Christian ethics in the face of AI-driven decisions, from medical ethics to autonomous vehicles. Is there a spiritual dimension to the guidance AI can provide?

3. Unveiling Revelation: One of the most intriguing discussions centers around the potential connections between the AI revolution and the prophetic visions of John in the Book of Revelation. Could the rapid advancements in AI be leading us toward the fulfillment of ancient prophecies? We delve into the parallels and ponder the significance of these correlations.

Prepare to be engaged, enlightened, and inspired as we venture into uncharted territories of faith, technology, and prophecy. Whether you're a devoted believer, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the future, "The AI Revolution: Part 2" promises to spark thought-provoking discussions that will challenge your perspectives and expand your horizons.

When we launched the podcast in 2017, we knew that we eventually wanted to interview Dr. David Bernard, the UPCI General Superintendent. We have both read and referenced many of his writings over the years and his books played an important role in Bryce's journey of faith.

When we began to discuss evangelism and discipleship, we knew this was the perfect time to reach out. Thankfully, Bro. Bernard was gracious enough to join us for what turned out to be an incredible episode. We cover a lot of ground in this episode but our main concern is with evangelism and discipleship. We discuss the incredible growth of the church in Austin, TX under Bro. Bernard's leadership, as well as the importance of intentional multicultural outreach.

Be sure to pick up a copy of Dr. Bernard's incredible book, "Reaching Austin". Available wherever you buy books or directly from Pentecostal Publishing House: https://pentecostalpublishing.com/products/reaching-austin

He is also the founding president of Urshan College and Urshan Graduate School of Theology. He earned both a master's and a doctor of theology degree in New Testament from the University of South Africa, a doctor of jurisprudence with honors from the University of Texas, and a bachelor of arts magna cum laude in mathematical sciences and managerial studies from Rice University.
