Will the next generation of highly convincing AI chatbots really transform society?
Advances in technology mean intelligent machines are likely to play an increasingly important role in our future
The Eliza effect, algorithms reading lung X-rays, the problem of other minds, and adventurers on Mars
‘None of us can avoid fundamental questions about what it means to be human. These issues are far too important to be left to doctors’
Can the church help society push back against the medicalisation of ordinary emotions?
Isolated elderly people, altruistic suicide, a second childhood, and a crucified hero
The ars moriendi, open casket funerals in Derry Girls, the end of Christendom and ethical quietism
Overlap with Catholicism, chronological snobbery, rejecting one-size-fits-all ethics, and ‘worldly’ versus ‘spiritual’ matters
I-Thou relationships, talking to stuffed animals, thanking Alexa, and Turing red flag laws
Do Protestants have answers to the pressing social questions of the day?
