In the Driver's Seat: Nathan Barczi on AI and Staying Human

Is artificial intelligence a tool we steer, or one that is quietly steering us? On this episode of Complex Creatures, Rev. Dr. Jarrod Longbons talks with Nathan Barczi, a pastor and theologian who holds doctorates in theology from Nottingham and economics from MIT, where he also serves as a chaplain. Together they ask what AI is doing to our work, our relationships, and our sense of what it means to be human. They dig into the economics of attention and addiction, Sherry Turkle's idea of settling for "alive enough," the danger of AI substituting for friends and even parents, and why Aquinas's understanding of the soul means you cannot truly befriend a machine. Use the tool.
