About this listen

You don't have to be a computer scientist to get involved in the discussion about where artificial intelligence and technology are going.

What will the year 2084 hold for you - for your friends, for your family, and for our society? Are we doomed to the grim dystopia imagined in George Orwell's 1984?

In 2084, scientist and philosopher John Lennox will introduce you to a kaleidoscope of ideas: the key developments in technological enhancement, bioengineering, and, in particular, artificial intelligence. You will discover the current capacity of AI, its advantages and disadvantages, the facts and the fiction, as well as potential future implications.

The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. A work that is made to challenge all listeners, no matter your worldview, 2084 shows how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence-based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity.

How much is at stake in the outworking of AI?

Typical of John Lennox his presentations are always well balanced, and firmly grounded on the Biblical foundations, contemplating the many benefits AI brings to society, while balancing out the advances from it,warns us of the grave consequences if this should take control without balance of moral values to keep it in check.

Rubbish

I was looking forward to this and had no prior knowledge of the author.

A few chapters in and couldn’t take the tired and unsupported claims that science can not ever explain human existence - ergo we must conclude that any “rational” human should believe they were created.

And your evidence, Mr. Author?

What a waste of my time.

A book about the bible

This book claims to be about the future and AI but is really just a huge collection of bible references

garbage push for religion

Just an attempt to push religion in yet a other form.
Blind blanket statements with no justification do not make truth.
