Oak Hill Theological College student, Ben Clube, contemplates whether Artificial Intelligence is ‘good news’
The past century has seen explosive interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Pop culture has perpetuated the hype with The Terminator in the 80s, The Matrix in the 90s, and a deluge since the millennium with I-robot, Ex Machina, Black Mirror, Westworld, etc.
But the fixation is not confined to fiction; scholars have been writing extensively on AI including Larry Page, Elon Musk, and Stephen Hawking. Max Tegmark pleads that this is ‘the most important conversation of our time’, with Bill Joy’s fearing that humans could be replaced by 2030.
