#3: Nigel Crook - The future of AI, ethics, and morale machines

In this thought-provoking episode of Faith@Work, we explore the intersection of faith and artificial intelligence with two pioneering Christian voices in technology: Professor Nigel Crook, AI and Robotics expert at Oxford Brookes University and author of "Rise of the Moral Machines," and Ryan Collins, CEO of Bethel School of Technology and author of "The God of Tech."

They tackle fascinating questions about AI morality, human creativity, and our spiritual uniqueness in an age of advancing technology. From AI "winters" to quantum computing's spiritual implications, our guests offer biblical perspective on key technological questions.

Discover why both experts believe technology should be a tool pointing to Jesus as the ultimate solution, and how Christians can engage with innovation without fear. Whether you're a technologist, a person of faith, or simply curious about the future, this conversation offers fresh insights on spirituality and innovation working together.
