  • Should Christians Embrace Artificial Intelligence?

    Should Christians Embrace Artificial Intelligence?
    Apr 4 2024
    This week on the Christian Nerds Unite Podcast, I am joined by author and apologist Abdu Murray of EmbraceTheTruth.org. Murray is an individual with a unique blend of Lebanese and Scottish heritage who embarked on a compelling journey from Islam to Christianity. Trained as a lawyer and later transitioning into ministry, Murray founded Embrace the Truth, aiming to showcase the gospel's credibility to seekers and skeptics alike through engaging dialogues, university talks, and open forums. Our discussion delved into the intersection of AI and faith, exploring Murray's nuanced perspective on AI as a tool with both remarkable potential and inherent risks. He emphasized the importance of using AI responsibly within ministries, offering insights into its application for research, youth engagement, and enhancing creative outputs. Mori's reflections on the digital era's challenges and opportunities for faith communities highlight the need for discernment and the thoughtful integration of technology in spreading the gospel.
