Episode Description from the Publisher

Magnus Podcast Episode 121 Does AI Dream of Electric Consciousness?: AI and the Amputation of Human Expression with guest (host?) John Johnson. Executive Director Emeritus and former host of the Magnus Podcast John Johnson joins Joshua Mazrin to discuss AI and our lessening ability to do things for ourselves. Is AI an inherent enemy? A necessary evil? Is it morally neutral of itself? Can the human mind be boiled down to ones and zeroes? You can guess the answer, but AI probably can't. Tune in for more.   For those of you who are interested in the Albertus Magnus Institute, particularly our fellowship, you can go to www.magnusinstitute.org slash apply. We would love to have you in our conversations going through these great texts. So thank you all and God bless. The Magnus Podcast is a production of the Albertus Magnus Institute.
