Technology is just a tool, they say. We should make good use of tools, and almost all tools have a good use, they say. But, what about artificial intelligence? Is artificial intelligence just a tool, or is there something more we should consider?

You are made in the image of God. You are one for whom Christ died. All else flows from this, including our use of technology, but especially our use of artificial intelligence. If you do a concordance search for “artificial intelligence,” you won’t find those words in your Bible, but God actually has much to say about this ever-changing technology. Mrs. Jocelyn Benson joins us to teach us about the theology of technology this week on the Youth4Life Podcast.
