Q&A

Introverts versus extroverts, faith in the consultation room, and a moratorium on AI research

More quickfire initial thoughts in response to questions from listeners. This week we discuss whether introverts are marginalised in the church, or actually disproportionately likely in the pulpit? We also consider how spirituality might play a role in healthcare, and in particular how Christian doctors could appropriately bring their faith into their surgeries. And finally, we wonder if a recent call by tech figures for a six-month pause on all AI research will actually mean anything.

This is the article Tim mentions about chaplains embedded in general practice.
