Curated Preliminary Thoughts on AI, Tech, and Tools: Disparate
Thoughts that don't have a home yet
There are times when you have several conversations with several different unrelated people in several different contexts and think to yourself, “Why is this coming up so much?”
I’m sitting in just such a moment framed by tools, technology, and AI. So I figured I’d throw out these disparate threads in the hopes they may be collected together in the future.
Wiley’s Book
Honestly, I’m withholding some of my public comment on AI because my private thinking is still a mushy mess. What I’m looking forward to is
’s upcoming book on the topic. I want to take the time to engage with his extensive research and conclusions before writing more on the topic.You can find some of his thoughts on AI in these two talks, presented at the King’s Domain Conference this past April. They were excellent.
Wiley’s book will be a must-read. You can also read what ended up on the cutting room floor. And if that is what ended up on the cutting room floor, the book should be excellent.
To My Surprise
I was recently talking to a friend on this topic and remembered that I had written about AI and technology in the past. My friend asked to read what I had written, and so I went searching for articles I had long forgotten. To my surprise, I’ve written on that topic a little more than I remembered. Here is a quick index of things I’ve written in the past on a Christian view of technology.
This conversation isn’t going anywhere, we haven’t figured out much of it yet, and the challenges are only going to get more significant. Christians can’t sit this one out.
